Etymology
The word 'staunch' originates from the Old French word 'estanchier', which means 'to stop or check' as in stopping a leak. It developed in the English language by the late 16th century to imply strong support or loyalty in terms of steadfastness. The term 'stauncher' is a comparative form, indicating a higher degree of this quality. Historically, it has been used in various contexts to describe individuals or groups that exhibit unwavering support, especially in political, social, or philosophical realms. Over the years, 'staunch' has expanded its use, adapting to describe people who are not only loyal but also resolutely defend their principles.
