Etymology

The word 'appealed' is derived from the Latin term 'appellare', which means 'to call upon' or 'to name'. This word evolved into the Old French 'appeler', which also meant 'to call' or 'to summon'. By the late Middle Ages, the term had transitioned into Middle English as 'appele'. The legal usage of the term became prominent in the 14th century as the judicial systems developed formal mechanisms for parties to contest decisions made by lower authorities. Over time, the meaning broadened to encompass various contexts beyond law, including emotional and social appeals, reflecting the versatile nature of human communication.
