Etymology

The verb 'chair' originates from the Middle English word 'chare,' which means 'a seat or a position of authority.' This word evolved from the Old French 'chaiere,' itself derived from the Latin 'cathedra,' meaning 'chair' or 'seat,' particularly one of honor or authority. Over time, 'chair' has come to represent the role of someone who leads a discussion or meeting, symbolizing their authority and status in that context. The transition from a physical seat to a metaphorical position of leadership highlights the importance of both presence and responsibility in guiding group interactions.
