Definition of the word <b>following</b>

Origin of the word following

The word "following" has its roots in the Old English word "folgian," meaning "to follow." This word, in turn, derived from the Proto-Germanic word "fulgōn," which meant "to track or follow." Over time, "folgian" evolved into the Middle English "folwen," and eventually, "following" became the standard form in modern English. The word "following" encompasses the concepts of tracking, pursuing, or coming after something or someone, reflecting its long history of describing actions that come after another.
