Etymology
The term 'antisocial' is derived from the prefix 'anti-', meaning 'against', and 'social', pertaining to society or community. It emerged in the early 20th century, particularly during a period where psychological terms began to gain prominence in language. The concept was initially used to describe behaviors that were characteristically damaging to social relationships or structures. The extension of this term to include 'antisocially' came as language evolved, further emphasizing the manner in which such negative behaviors were exhibited. In modern psychology, particularly since the 1980s, the term has been associated with Antisocial Personality Disorder, underscoring its relevance in discussions surrounding mental health and social behavior.
