Etymology

The noun *progrès* comes from the Latin *progressus*, the past participle of *progredi* “to advance, to go forward.” *Progredi* is formed from *pro* “forward” + *gredi* “to step, go” (from *gradus* “step”), so *progressus* literally means “having gone forward.” It entered Old French as *progres* and Middle French as *progrès*, retaining the sense of forward improvement.
