Meaning:
An act or instance of earnestly urging or encouraging someone to do something. A strong recommendation or appeal.
Origin:
The word "exhortation" has its origins in ancient Roman times. In Latin, "exhortatio" referred to an act of encouraging or urging someone to take a certain course of action. The term often appeared in legal and religious contexts, particularly in reference to the exhortation of witnesses to tell the truth or to instruct followers to adhere to certain beliefs or practices.
Over time, the word "exhortation" spread to other languages, including English, where it assumed a more general meaning. It is now commonly used to describe any kind of strong appeal or encouragement, regardless of the specific context.
