Etymology

The word 'rivalry' originated from the Latin word 'rivalis', which referred to someone sharing the same stream or river. In ancient Rome, a 'rivalis' was a person living on the other side of a river, leading to a sense of competition or conflict. Over time, the term evolved to represent competition and antagonism between individuals or groups striving for the same goal.
