Etymology

The term 'courting' has its origins in the Middle Ages when it referred to the act of trying to win the favor of a lady. It was a formal process that involved chivalry, respect, and often the involvement of family members. Over time, the concept of courting evolved to focus more on romantic relationships and the intention of marriage. Today, while less common than dating, courting is still practiced by some individuals and communities.
