The simplest answer is that "typical" is related to the word "type". If you are a typical resident of California, you represent the type of person who lives in California.

The origin of the word goes back through the Latin typicalis and the Greek typikos to the Indo-European root tup- meaning to "to beat", as in making an making a mark with a hammer.
