Origin:
The word "legate" originated in ancient Rome, where it referred to a high-ranking government official. Legates were typically appointed by the Senate to command legions, govern provinces, or represent the Roman state in negotiations.
Over time, the term "legate" came to be used more broadly to describe any representative or delegate. In the medieval and early modern periods, legates were often sent by popes or monarchs to represent their interests in foreign countries. Today, the term is most commonly used to refer to diplomatic representatives.
