Etymology of DIPLOMATED

The word "diplomated" is derived from the noun "diploma", which comes from the Greek word "diploma" (δίπλωμα). "Diploma" originally meant "a letter of recommendation" or "a folded paper". It is rooted in the Greek verb "diploo" (διπλόω), meaning "to double fold" or "to double up". In ancient times, a diploma referred to a folded document, often made from parchment or papyrus, which served as a formal document or credential.

Over time, the term "diploma" gained the specific meaning of a document certifying the successful completion of a course of study or a degree.
