Etymology
The word 'candidate' originated from the Latin word 'candidatus', which means 'clothed in white'. In ancient Rome, candidates for public office would wear white togas to symbolize purity and honesty. Over time, the word evolved to refer to individuals seeking office or job positions through formal applications or nominations.
