==Overview==
The term foreign evolved during the mid-13th century from ''ferren, foreyne'', "out of doors", based on the [[Old French]] ''forain'', "outer, external, outdoor; remote", reflecting the sense of "not in one's own land" first attested in the late 14th century. Spelling in English was altered in the 17th century, perhaps by influence of the words ''reign'' and ''sovereign''. Both words were associated at the time with the most common office of [[monarch]] that determined [[foreign policy]], a set of diplomatic goals
The idea of long-term management of relationships followed the development of professional [[diplomatic corps]] that managed [[diplomacy]]. Since 1711, the term diplomacy has been taken to mean the art and practice of conducting negotiations between representatives of groups or nations.
