Etymology
The word 'mayoral' has its roots in the late Middle English term 'mayor', which originates from the Old French term 'maior' and the Latin word 'maior', meaning 'greater' or 'elder'. The term historically referred to an official who has authority over a municipality. The transition from 'mayor' to 'mayoral' reflects the evolution of the governmental structures that defined roles within cities and towns. The use of 'mayoral' to describe offices, elections, or actions related to the mayor indicates the specific focus on the functions and responsibilities held by such an office within the municipal system. Over time, this term has helped distinguish the various roles within city governance, as cities have grown in complexity and size.
