Word origin
The word 'minister' originated from the Latin word 'minister' meaning 'servant' or 'attendant'. It was first used in the English language in the 14th century. Initially, it referred to a person serving in a position of authority, especially in a government or church setting. Over time, the term evolved to specifically denote a high-ranking government official or a member of the clergy.
