Etymology

The word 'titled' originates from the Middle English term 'titel' which comes from the Old French 'titelle', derived from the Latin 'titulus', meaning 'title' or 'inscription'. This etymology reflects the historical importance of titles in literature, governance, and art. In historical contexts, titles not only served to identify a work but also indicated the status and authority of the author or creator. As society evolved, the use of titles expanded to various domains, including academia, where degrees and honors are also referred to as titles. By the 16th century, the usage of 'titled' as an adjective became more common, indicating that something or someone had received a formal designation. Today, it underscores the significance of naming in cultural and intellectual exchanges.
