Etymology
The word 'welcome' originates from Middle English 'welcumen,' derived from the Old English 'wilcuma,' which means 'a person who is pleasing' from 'wil,' meaning 'pleasure' or 'will,' and 'cuma,' meaning 'guest' or 'come.' The usage of 'welcomed' evolved as the language did, transitioning through various forms in the English language. By the late medieval period, the verb form had solidified into its present use to reflect the act of greeting someone in a favorable manner. The notion of welcoming someone is deeply rooted in hospitality traditions across cultures, symbolizing acceptance and openness. Over time, the usage has not only referred to physical greetings but has expanded to encompass emotional or situational acceptance.
