Word origin
The word 'principled' originated from the Middle English word 'principle' in the 14th century, derived from the Old French 'principele' and the Latin 'principalis'. It is related to the Latin word 'principium', meaning 'beginning' or 'foundation'. Over time, 'principled' evolved to describe someone or something guided by a set of ethical principles or beliefs.
