Etymology

The term 'escort' originates from the Middle French word 'escorte', derived from 'escorter', which means to escort or accompany. The word has roots in the Latin 'excurrere', meaning to run out or forth. Initially, 'escort' referred to a group or a detachment of troops accompanying a commander or important person, ensuring their safety during travel. Over centuries, the term evolved to encompass various forms of companionship and guidance in social, military, and personal contexts. By the 14th century, its use expanded to include courtly and noble contexts, often implying a protective or honorable duty. Today, 'escorting' can refer to professional services as well, including the companionship offered for social events or intimate engagements, a further testament to its versatile nature.
