Etymology

The word 'graduate' comes from the Latin 'gradus', meaning 'step or degree,' which reflects the idea of moving up to a higher level of education. The term began to be used in English in the late 14th century. Initially, it referred to a person who had attained a degree, and by the 19th century, it had evolved to encompass not only those who had completed their studies but also those who had participated in relevant ceremonies. Over time, 'graduate' has further developed into a common term within educational contexts, become associated with the milestone achievements of individuals in their academic pursuits, and has even given rise to related concepts such as 'graduation' and 'graduate studies'.
