Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Late Latin competitor, meaning 'rival', from the verb competere (to strive in company with, to be qualified), combining com- (together) and petere (to strive, seek, or rush at). Entering the English language in the late 16th century, the word initially denoted those vying for the same office or prize before expanding to general commercial and athletic contexts.
