Word origin

The term 'annuitant' originated from the Latin word 'annuitans', which means 'to grant annually'. In ancient Rome, annuities were granted yearly by the government to soldiers and officials. Over time, the concept evolved into financial payments made to individuals on a regular basis. Today, annuitants play a crucial role in the insurance and financial industry, receiving periodic payments to support their financial needs.
