Origin:
The word "diligent" was first used in English in the early 14th century. It derives from the Latin word "diligens," which was used to describe someone who was careful, attentive, and thorough. The Latin word "diligens" itself comes from the verb "diligere," which means "to love, to appreciate, to favor." The implication is that someone who is diligent is so because they care deeply about what they are doing.
