SCOUT
What scout means
A person sent ahead to gather information about an enemy's position or movements, or someone who searches for and recruits talented people in sports or entertainment.
Where the word comes from
Scout comes from Old French *escoute*, meaning "a listening post" or "one who listens," derived from the verb *escouter* (to listen). This French word traces back to Latin *auscultare*, meaning "to listen," which combined the prefix *aus-* with *cultus*, related to "care" or "attention." The word shifted in meaning from someone who listens for information to someone who observes and gathers intelligence in general.
