Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum

Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin 'diligentem', the accusative form of 'diligens', meaning attentive, careful, or loving, from the verb 'diligere' (to select, esteem, or love). Entering Middle English via Old French in the 14th century, the meaning evolved from careful attention born of affection to persistent, painstaking effort and industriousness in work.
