Usage Examples

Etymology

**égard** (noun) derives from Old French *egard*, a form of *garder* with the prefix *e-* (from Latin *ad*). The root is the Latin *guardare* “to watch, keep”, so *egard* originally meant “attention, observation.” From that notion of mindful looking evolved the modern sense of “respect, regard.”
