Etymology
The word 'designate' comes from the Latin word 'designatus', which is the past participle of 'designare', meaning 'to mark out, choose, designate'. The term has been used in English since the late 16th century, originally in the sense of 'point out, indicate'. Over time, it evolved to its current meaning of officially assigning or selecting someone or something.
