Etymology

The word 'push' comes from the Middle English term 'pushen', which is derived from the Old French 'pousser', meaning to thrust or to propel. This word has its origin in the Latin term 'pulsare', which means to beat or to strike. Its fundamental idea is rooted in the action of applying force to move something away from a person or place. Over time, 'push' evolved in English usage to encompass both physical and figurative meanings, where it implies not only the action of moving but also the encouragement or enforcement of actions in others. The versatility of 'push' has allowed it to be used in various contexts, making it a common term in everyday language.
