Martin Luther's declaration of dissent from the Diet of Spires - which confirmed the decision of the Diet of Worms - which condemned the Reformation movement which Luther started... that declaration was called in Latin a protestatio.
From that comes the word Protestant.
The word has roots in two Latin words -
* pro meaning forth, publicly * testari meaning assert (and related to testament and testimony)
