Etymology

The word 'rescue' comes from the Latin word 'rescous' which means 'to take back' or 'retrieve'. This Latin term evolved through Old French into Middle English as 'rescue', acquiring its current form by the early 14th century. The concept of rescuing has been integral to various societal roles, including the heroic acts of firefighters, lifeguards, and humanitarian workers. Over time, the term has broadened to encompass anyone who saves another from peril, highlighting both physical and emotional rescues. Today, it is widely used in both formal and informal contexts, reflecting the universal appeal of selfless acts of bravery.
