Etymology

Sondage comes from the French verb *sondre* “to probe or test”, which was borrowed from Latin *sondāre*, meaning “to test by probing”. The noun was formed in the 19th century with the suffix –age to denote the action or result of probing, and later acquired the figurative sense of a “political survey” or “poll”. The term thus tracks a metaphorical shift from literal physical probing to probing opinions or statistics.
