The word "suing" comes from the Old French word "suire", which means "to follow". In medieval English, it evolved into the verb "su", meaning "to proceed with a legal action" or "to prosecute". Over time, "su" transformed into "sue", which eventually gave rise to the modern-day term "suing", referring to the act of initiating a legal claim against someone.
