Etymology of ADVOCATES
The word "advocates" dates back to the 14th century and its etymology can be traced back to the Latin word "advocatus", which means "one called to aid" or "one who pleads for another". The Latin term came from the past participle of "advocare", which means "to call to one's aid". "Advocare" is derived from the combination of the prefix "ad-", meaning "to" or "towards" and the verb "vocare", meaning "to call" or "to summon". Therefore, "advocates" originally referred to people who were called upon to support or defend someone or something.
