Etymology

The word 'proselytize' comes from the Late Latin 'proselytus', which means 'a convert'. It has roots in the Greek word 'prosฤ“lรฝteฬ„s', which means 'a newcomer'. The term originally referred to someone who had converted to Judaism, but over time, it has come to be used more broadly to refer to attempts to convert others to a different religion or belief system.
