"特别喜欢的人或物",来自1580年代的法语 favorit,可能通过意大利语 favorito,是 favorire 的过去分词名词用法,源自 favore,来自拉丁语 favorem "倾向,偏爱,支持"(参见 favor(n.))。
特别是指"获得上级支配影响的人"(1590年代)。在赛马中,"被认为最有可能获胜的人",可追溯至1813年。在17世纪至18世纪,"夹在太阳穴上的小卷发",是女性头饰的常见特征。
作为形容词,"特别喜欢、尊敬或偏爱的",可追溯至1711年。在比喻意义上,Favorite son指"在本地区特别受欢迎和引以为豪的知名人物",可追溯至1788年; 在美国,特别指"被认为是某个州人民特别选择的政治家"。
作为相应的名词,指"促进他人利益的人",拉丁语中有 fautor,因此古法语中有 fauteur,中古英语中有 fautour "拥护者,支持者,追随者"(14世纪中期),但它已经随着其女性形式 fautress 一起消失了。
