Etymology

The word 'aspire' originates from the Latin term 'aspirare', which means 'to breathe upon' or 'to want'. It combines 'ad', meaning 'to', and 'spirare', which means 'to breathe'. The figurative use of 'aspirare' to express a longing or desire emerged in the late 14th century. In Middle English, the word evolved to 'aspiren', retaining the interpretation of seeking or aiming for a goal or ambition. By the late 19th century, the term was commonly used in English with connotations of striving for lofty or noble objectives, marking its transition into the broader context of ambition and personal goals.
