Word origin

The term 'resort' originates from the Latin word 'resortire', which means 'to return to'. Over time, it evolved in Old French as 'resortir', referring to the act of returning to a place. In the 18th century, the meaning expanded as the notion of resorts developed in Europe, particularly in England, where people would seek familiar seaside towns as therapeutic locales. By the 19th century, the term was predominantly associated with leisure destinations that provided a refuge for travelers seeking pleasure and rest. Thus, 'resorting' emerged as a natural verb form, signifying the action of visiting resorts, which have continued to evolve in response to changing societal trends and leisure activities.
