Etymology

The word 'candidature' originates from the Latin term 'candidatus', which means 'one who is clothed in white'. This is in reference to the white togas worn by Roman politicians, who sought public office. The term evolved through the Old French 'candidature' around the 14th century, relating to the state or quality of being a candidate. By the 19th century, 'candidature' was used more broadly in English to refer to any person competing for a title, role, or position. The concept implies a formal process of selection where an individual expresses interest and qualifies for an opportunity, whether in a professional domain or a democratic election.
