Usage Examples

Etymology

The French noun *protégé* comes directly from the Old French *protégé*, the past participle of *protéger* (“to protect”). This verb is borrowed from Latin *protegere* (“to guard, cover”), formed from the preposition *pro* (“before, in front of”) and *tegēre* (“to cover”). In Middle French the term was used for a person under someone’s patronage or protection, a meaning that survived into modern French.
