Candidate
This word comes from the Latin word candidatus, which in turn derives from candidus, meaning white.
In Ancient Rome, the colour white was considered a symbol of purity, and people running for public office wore white togas to show that they had moral purity and good intentions.
Then, the word candidate was introduced into the English language in the 17th century.
