As a noun, a choice is the act of picking between options or the option that is picked. As an adjective, “choice” can mean very good or carefully selected.
“Choice” comes from Old French “chois,” related to “choisir,” meaning “to choose.” It has long been tied to the idea of selecting among possibilities.
Choice is both the act and the outcome—the moment of deciding and the thing you decided on. Psychologists have found that too many choices can actually make us more anxious, not more free. Your brain treats every decision like a tiny fork in your life’s story.
