Origin:
The word "mayor" has its origins in the Latin adjective "major," which means "greater" or "superior." It was originally used in Latin to denote a person of higher status or authority, such as a senior magistrate or military officer.
In the Middle Ages, the term "major" was used to refer to the chief executive of a town or city in France. This usage was adopted into English in the 14th century, and the spelling evolved over time to become "mayor."
The term "mayor" is now used widely in English-speaking countries to refer to the chief executive of a municipal government.
