Etymology of ELECTIONEER

The word "electioneer" is derived from the combination of two words: "election" and "engineer".

The term "election" is derived from the Latin word "electionem", which means "the act of choosing or picking out". It entered the English language in the 14th century and originally referred to the process of selecting a church official. Over time, its meaning expanded to include the act of choosing a political representative.
