Etymology
Paradigmatic comes from the Greek parts para- 'beside' and deigma 'show', which gives the sense of items 'shown beside' one another. A helpful way to remember the linguistic use is to think of words that can stand beside a blank and replace each other, which is what a paradigmatic relation is.
