Word origin
The word 'congressional' originates from the word 'congress', which comes from the Latin 'congressus', past participle of 'congredi' meaning 'to come together'. The term has been used in English since the 18th century to refer to the national legislative body in the United States. Over time, 'congressional' has come to be used more broadly to describe anything related to a congress or considered important or influential in a political context.
