Etymology
The word 'urge' comes from the Latin 'urgere', which means 'to push' or 'to drive'. This word evolved into the Old French term 'urger', before being adopted into Middle English as 'urge'. The transformation from Latin to Middle French and then to English reflects the historical influences of language evolution during the medieval period. The term has been used since at least the 14th century, retaining its core meaning of pushing someone towards action or encouraging them strongly. Over time, 'urge' has come to be associated with a variety of contexts, from personal encouragement to broader social, political, and environmental advocacy.
