Origin:
The word "vigor" traces its roots back to the Proto-Indo-European language, where it originates from the root *weg-, meaning "to move strongly." This root is also the origin of other words such as "vehicle" and "velocity."
In Latin, the term vigor took on the meaning of "vitality" or "strength," particularly in a physical sense. It was later adopted into Old French as vigueur and then into English in the 14th century.
Over time, the meaning of "vigor" expanded to include not only physical but also mental and emotional strength and energy. It is now commonly used to describe any kind of vital force or intensity.
