Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Late Latin word 'mandatorius', stemming from 'mandatum' (command or commission), from 'mandare' (to commit to one's charge, command). It entered English in the 16th century, shifting in meaning from something given by mandate to an action that is obligatory or required by law.
