Etymology
The word 'regard' originates from the Old French 'regarder', which means 'to look at, to observe'. This Old French term is derived from the combination of 're-', meaning 'back, again', and 'garder', meaning 'to watch or keep'. Over time, it evolved in English to take on the meaning of considering someone or something in a particular way. The use of 'regard' as a noun dates back to the late 14th century, where it would refer to attention, observation, or concern for someone or something. This term has maintained its various meanings relating to perception and esteem through the centuries, adapting to different contexts and uses in both spoken and written language.
