Etymology of PROFESSED

The word "professed" originated from the Latin term "professus", which is the past participle of the verb "profiteri". "Profiteri" is a combination of "pro" (meaning "before") and "fateri" (meaning "to confess" or "to acknowledge"). Therefore, "professed" essentially means "to openly acknowledge" or "to declare openly". The word has maintained a similar meaning throughout its usage in the English language to this day.
