Word origin
The word 'vouch' originates from the Old French 'vouchier', which means 'to call upon, to summon, to assure'. This term was derived from the Vulgar Latin 'vocare', which translates as 'to call'. The usage of 'vouch' began to appear in English around the late 14th century. It was used in legal contexts, often referring to a person who would support a claim or a statement. Over time, the meaning broadened to include any supportive affirmation or assurance provided by one individual regarding another, and it has maintained its relevance in contemporary usage, particularly in contexts involving trust or reliability.
