Etymology
The word 'paragon' comes from the Latin 'paragone', which means 'touchstone', a stone used in testing the purity of gold and precious metals. The Latin term itself derives from the Greek 'parakon', meaning 'to sharpen' or 'to compare'. Over time, the usage evolved to signify a model of excellence or perfection in various contexts. The suffix '-ed' signifies a past participle, indicating something that has been elevated to the status of a paragon. Though the term 'paragoned' is not commonly found in everyday language today, it reflects the historical use of 'paragon' to characterize something as exemplary or the best of its kind.
