Origin of the word candidature

The word "candidature" originated from the Latin term "candidatus," which means "white" or "candidate" in English. During ancient Roman elections, candidates would wear white togas, symbolizing their purity and honesty, and distinguishing them from other citizens. This tradition evolved into the modern-day use of "candidature" in English to refer to the process by which an individual applies for a position, such as a scholarship, job, or political office. Today, the word refers to the period of time during which a person's qualifications are being considered, before a final decision is made. The term "candide" which means "honest" or "sincere" in French and English has also been derived from the Latin word "candidatus."
