different between elect vs senator

English

Etymology

Borrowed from Latin ?l?ctus, past participle of ?lig? (“to pick out, choose, elect”), from ?- (“out”) + leg? (“to pick out, pick, gather, collect, etc.”); see legend.

Cognate to eclectic, which is via Ancient Greek rather than Latin, hence prefix ?? (ek), rather than e- (from ex).
