Etymology
The word 'champion' originates from the Latin term 'campio', which means 'fighter' or 'wrestler', derived from 'campus', meaning 'field'. In the Middle Ages, the term evolved to refer to a person who fought on behalf of another, usually in a tournament setting. By the late Middle English period, it began to signify someone who supports or defends a cause or idea. The modern usage reflects both the connotations of competition and the idea of advocacy, serving as a transition from physical combat to the championing of important societal issues. As society evolved, so did the role of a champion, particularly in social justice and community development.
