Etymology

The word 'follow' comes from the Old English 'fลlgan,' which meant to come after or to pursue. Its origins can be traced back to Proto-Germanic *fulgan, which has similar meanings in other Germanic languages. The term has evolved through Middle English, where it appeared as 'follen' or 'follwen,' before settling into its current form. Over the centuries, the usage of 'follow' has expanded, encompassing not just physical movement but also abstract concepts such as following instructions, advice, or trends. As societies have changed, so has the meaning of follow, reflecting new technologies and social norms, such as following on social media.
