Etymology of PERSONATING

The word personating comes from the verb personate, which traces its origin back to the Latin word personare. Personare consists of two parts: per, meaning through, and sonare, meaning to sound or to make a noise. In Medieval Latin, personare took on the meaning to speak through a mask. Eventually, in English, it evolved to personate, which refers to the act of assuming or pretending to be someone else, often for fraudulent purposes. Hence, personating is the present participle form of the verb personate.
