Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Medieval Latin 'renegatus', past participle of 'renegare' (to deny, renounce), combining 're-' (back, against) and 'negare' (to deny). Entering English via French in the late 16th century, it originally referred to someone who abandoned their religious faith, later broadening to describe anyone who deserts a party, cause, or traditional standard.
