Word origin
The word 'posse' originated in the late 16th century from Latin 'posse' meaning 'to be able'. In the United States, it gained popularity in the 19th century during the American Old West as a term for a group of citizens summoned to assist law enforcement in pursuing lawbreakers. Over time, the term has evolved to refer to any organized group of people with a common purpose.
