The word "highlight" originated from the Middle English term "hyghen licthen", which was a combination of the Old English words "hyghen" meaning "heighten" or "exalt" and "licthen" meaning "to make bright". Over time, this term evolved into the Middle English word "highlighten", which was used to describe the action of illuminating or drawing attention to something. Eventually, "highlighten" transformed into the modern word "highlight", which still carries the sense of drawing attention or emphasizing something.
