Definition
People who have formally requested something, like a job, school admission, or a loan.
Etymology
From Latin 'applicare' (to apply/attach to), with the suffix '-ant' marking those performing the action. The term became formalized in institutions during the 20th century.
Kelly Says
The modern applicant process is actually quite new—before the 20th century, most jobs, schools, and opportunities relied on personal connections rather than formal applications, which is why some places still do.
