Etymology
The word 'advocate' originated from the Latin word 'advocatus', which means 'one called to aid' or 'one who pleads for another'. It has been used in English since the 14th century with the legal sense of 'one whose profession is to plead cases in a court of law'. Over time, the term has broadened to also refer to individuals who publicly support or recommend causes or policies.
