Background / Comments
Our word came from the Latin noun votum (vow), which came from the verb vovere (to vow). As a noun, our word can refer to the candle, from the more correct term “votive candle”, which is lit in hope of getting one’s desire. Tossing a coin into a wishing well is another example of a votive offering.
