Etymology
The term 'congress' originates from the Latin word 'congressus', which means 'a coming together'. This in turn comes from 'congredi' meaning 'to meet' or 'to come together' from 'con-' (together) and 'grādī' (to step or walk). The word began to be used in the context of political assemblies in the late 16th century, particularly in reference to the formal gatherings of representatives in a legislature. Over time, it became synonymous with legislative bodies, most notably in the United States where 'Congress' refers specifically to the national legislative assembly. The evolution of the term reflects the importance of organized meetings in political discourse and governance, solidifying its status in modern political terminology.
