🇺🇸 English Expressions: Go-Getter! 💪
Hey everyone! 👋
Today’s expression is “go-getter.”
👉 An aggressively enterprising person — someone who is highly energetic, ambitious, and always going after what they want.
Origin:
The term “go-getter” came into American English in the early 1900s (around 1901–1910).
It’s formed from the verb “go,” the verb “get,” and the agent suffix “-er,” literally meaning someone who goes and gets what they want.
It likely evolved from motivational phrases like “Go get ’em!”, capturing a bold, forward-moving, take-action spirit. 💪
Examples:
• He’s a real go-getter — always starting new projects. 💼
• They hired him because he’s such a go-getter. ✅
• If you want to succeed here, you have to be a go-getter. 🎯
