Etymology
The word 'beg' originated from the Old English word 'bรฉgon', which means 'to ask earnestly'. Over time, the meaning evolved to encompass both the act of asking for something humbly and the act of asking for charity or help due to poverty. The concept of begging has been prevalent throughout history, with various social and cultural implications. In modern times, begging is often associated with homelessness and poverty, prompting debates on social welfare and assistance programs.
