Word origin
The verb is a verbalization of correlación using the suffix -ar, and correlación comes from Latin correlatio, literally cor- 'together' + relatio 'relation'.
Usage tips
- Correlacionar denotes association, not causation, so stating that two variables are correlated does not by itself prove that one causes the other.
