Etymology

The word 'succour' originates from the Middle English term 'succoren', which is derived from the Old French 'secourre'. This, in turn, comes from the Latin โ€˜succurrereโ€™, where 'sub-' means 'under' and 'currere' means 'to run'. The literal translation of 'succurrere' could therefore be understood as 'to run to aid'. Throughout history, the concept of succour has been associated with the idea of providing immediate assistance or relief to those in distress, emphasizing the importance of community and compassion. The use of the term has evolved over time, but its essence remains connected to the act of helping others in moments of need. The variety of contexts in which it is employed speaks to the universal human instinct to support and uplift one another.
