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

Origin of the word leading

The word "leading" comes from the Old English word "lǣdan," meaning "to guide, conduct, or direct." This word is related to the Old High German "leitan," meaning "to seek." The sense of "leading" as "being in a position of authority" developed over time, as someone who guides or directs others often holds a position of power. This meaning is further strengthened by the connection to the word "leader," which also comes from "lǣdan."
