Origin of the word cheer

The word "cheer" has a fascinating journey through language. It comes from the Old English word "cēor," meaning "face," which evolved into "chere" and then "cheer" around the 14th century. Initially, "cheer" referred to the expression on one's face, reflecting emotions like joy and happiness. Over time, the word broadened to encompass the feeling of joy itself, and eventually, any kind of encouragement or support. So, next time you cheer for your team, remember that you're essentially expressing your joyful support, rooted in the very way we express our emotions through our faces.
