Etymology

The word 'entitling' is derived from the verb 'entitle', which originated from the Old French word 'entituler', meaning 'to give a title to'. The prefix 'en-' signifies 'to put into', and 'title' comes from the Latin 'titulus', meaning 'inscription or heading'. Over time, 'entitle' evolved to include the concept of granting rights or privileges, in addition to naming.
