What is Candidate?
A '''candidate''', or ''nominee'', is a person (or a thing) which is being considered for something. For a person, it might be an award or honor or membership of a group. An [[election]], for example, often chooses one or a few, among two or more candidates. The word comes from a [[Latin]] word for [[white]], because men who wanted to be chosen would wear white so everyone would notice them. The word is also used in [[problem-solving]]. In [[chess]], a distinction is made between legal moves and candidate moves. The candidate moves are those selected for a more detailed examination. == Related pages == *[[Candidatus]] {{-}} {{stub}} [[Category:Politics]]
