Etymology

The word 'eager' comes from the Middle English 'egr' or 'egor', which means keen or sharp, derived from the Old French term 'aigre' with the same meaning. Its origins can be traced back to the Latin word 'acer', meaning sharp or bitter. The superlative form 'eagerest' formed by adding the suffix '-est' to 'eager', reflects the gradual evolution of the word in the English language. Over time, the term has come to encompass not just a sharpness in taste or character but a profound emotional state of desire and anticipation. Its use in expressions of excitement and keen interest has become widespread in contemporary English.
