Etymology
The word 'prompt' originates from the Latin word 'promptus', meaning 'brought forth' or 'ready'. It entered Middle English through Old French in the 14th century, where the sense of urging or encouraging someone to do something became prevalent. Initially, it referred to a cue or signal to act and gradually evolved into a broader usage that includes causes or stimuli that elicit responses. Over the years, 'prompted' has become commonly used in various contexts, influencing both literary and everyday language.
