Word origin
The word 'postulant' comes from the Latin word 'postulare', which means 'to ask, demand, or require'. Originally used in religious contexts, it has evolved to also refer to job applicants in a more general sense. The term has been used for centuries to describe individuals seeking admission into religious orders or applying for positions.
