Word origin

The word 'awarded' originated from the Middle English word 'awarden', which in turn came from Old Northern French 'a-warder', meaning 'to look at, consider'. The sense of giving a prize or honor as a result of a decision dates back to the mid-16th century. Over time, 'awarded' has become commonly used in various fields to acknowledge achievements and recognize excellence.
