Word origin
The word 'asserted' comes from the Latin 'assertus', the past participle of 'asserere', which means 'to join' or 'to affirm'. The prefix 'ad-' translates to 'to', and 'serere' means 'to join together'. Asserting something implies joining oneself firmly to an idea, making a declaration or statement that has some weight. The term made its way into Middle French before being adopted into English in the 15th century, where it has evolved to represent not just the act of declaring but also the idea of insisting on a truth or belief with confidence. Over the centuries, it has maintained this essence, becoming a common term in both formal and everyday language.
