Word origin

The word 'endeavors' originated from the Old French word 'en-,' meaning 'in' or 'towards,' and 'dever,' meaning 'duty' or 'action.' Over time, it evolved into the Middle English word 'endeveren,' which eventually became 'endeavor' in Modern English. The term has been used to denote efforts and actions towards achieving specific goals, reflecting the human drive for progress and success.
