Etymology

The word 'envoy' comes from the Middle French term 'envoi', which means a sending or dispatch. It is derived from the verb 'envoyer', meaning to send. The root of the word can be traced back to the Latin 'inviare', where 'in' means to or into, and 'via' means way, thus conveying the sense of sending someone on a way or journey. The term evolved in the context of diplomacy, signifying a person sent with a message or mission from a ruler or government. Throughout history, envoys played a significant role in establishing diplomatic relations and communicating intentions between nations, especially before the formal establishment of embassies. By the 15th century, the modern usage of 'envoy' became well-established, referring mainly to a representative with a specific diplomatic mission.
