Word origin
The term 'celebrity' originated in the late 14th century from the Middle English word 'celebrite' which means 'solemn rite or observance'. It later evolved to refer to a famous or well-known person in the 19th century. The concept of celebrity has become increasingly prominent with the rise of mass media and pop culture in the 20th and 21st centuries.
