Word origin
The word 'litigant' originated from the Latin word 'litigant-' (stem of litigans), present participle of litigare 'to dispute, carry on a lawsuit', equivalent to liti- (stem of lis) 'lawsuit' + agere 'to drive, conduct'. The term has been used in legal contexts for centuries to refer to parties involved in legal proceedings.
