Nguồn gốc từ
Attested from the 1580s, borrowed from Middle French favorit, from Old French favorit or Italian favorito (favoured, favourite), past participle of Italian favorire (to favor), from favore, from Latin favor (good will, favor), from the verb faveō (to favour), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeh₂weh₁yeti (to be favourable to), from the root Proto-Indo-European *bʰeh₂- (to shine, glow light).
