Word origin
The word 'paragon' originated from the Italian word 'paragone', meaning 'touchstone' or 'comparison'. It entered the English language in the 16th century. Originally, a paragon was a touchstone used to test the purity of gold or silver. Over time, the meaning evolved to represent a model of excellence or perfection in various contexts.
