Etymology
The word 'espousal' comes from the Middle English 'espousaille', which in turn comes from the Old French 'esposal'. It is ultimately derived from the Latin word 'sponsฤlia', from 'sponsus' (betrothed) + 'ฤlia' (related to). The term has been used since the 14th century to refer to the act of marriage or the adoption of a cause.
