Etymology: "Correspondences" is simply the plural of "correspondence," and the singular is the one with the history. It descends from Latin "correspondentia," a noun built from "correspondere," meaning to answer or respond to something in return, with "cor-" (a form of "com-," "together") attached to "respondere," to answer. The Latin sense was one of mutual answering, a matching of one thing to another, and that core idea of two things answering each other carries through the English meanings, whether a letter answers a letter or one set of facts lines up with another. The word reached English in Middle English through Latin, and the noun's modern senses (exchanging letters, or matching relationships) grew out of that original notion of answering back.
