Word origin
The word 'representative' originated from the Latin word 'repraesentare', which means to present or exhibit. It has been used in English since the late 14th century to refer to someone who stands in place of others or acts on their behalf. Over time, the term has evolved to encompass a broader range of meanings, from political representation to being typical or characteristic of a group.
