Etymology

Solidity comes from the simple word solid plus the ending -ity, and solid goes back to an old Latin word meaning 'firm' or 'hard'. The programming language Solidity was named to suggest smart contracts that are 'solid', meaning strong, stable, and reliable, so think of it as the language for writing firm, trustworthy contract code.
