FAVORITE

From the verb , see .
In historical writings, when used in reference to a person, 'favorite' or 'favourite' implies the intimate companion of a ruler or other important person. In medieval and Early Modern Europe, among other times and places, the term is used of individuals delegated significant political power by a ruler. It is especially a phenomenon of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, when government had become too complex for many hereditary rulers, and political constitutions were still evolving. The term is also sometimes employed by conservative writers who want to avoid emotional terms such as "friend", "lover", or "paramour" of either sex.
'Favorite' is also often used in races and competitions when referring to the competitor (i.e., horse, actress, player, team, etc.) having the best chance of winning.
