Word origin
The word 'rigorist' originated from the Latin word 'rigor,' meaning stiffness or hardness. Over time, it came to be used to describe individuals who adhere strictly to rules or traditions, particularly in the fields of education and religion. The term has evolved to connote a sense of strictness and inflexibility in adherence to established norms.
