Etymology
'support' originates from Old French, specifically the word 'supporter,' where 'sub-' meant 'under' and 'portare' meant 'to carry.'
'supporter' transformed into the Middle English word 'supporten,' and eventually became the modern English word 'support.'
Initially, it meant 'to carry from underneath,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to provide assistance or backing.'
