Etymology

The word 'succoring' originates from the late Middle English term 'succurien', which is derived from the Old French 'secourir' meaning 'to help, support'. This, in turn, comes from the Latin verb 'succurrere', which means 'to run to help'. The Latin term combines 'sub-' meaning 'under' or 'up to' and 'currere', meaning 'to run'. Over time, the term evolved in the English language, retaining its core meaning of providing aid or assistance, particularly in times of emergency. The use of 'succor' in English can be traced back to the 14th century, highlighting its long-standing relevance in both literature and everyday language, particularly in contexts related to charity and compassion.
