Etymology
The phrase "to follow an example" comes from the verb 'follow,' which originates from Old English 'fylgan,' meaning to go after or pursue. 'Example' derives from Latin 'exemplum,' which means a pattern or model to be imitated. Together, the phrase literally suggests going after a model to guide one's actions.
