Rival
Invented in The Taming of the Shrew“ | we may yet again have access to our fair mistress | ” |
Rival comes from the Latin word rivalis, which literally means "of the same brook"—a definition that quickly became "adversary". Apparently, when someone else is using the same stream as you are, you quickly get all competitive against them. |
