Etymology

The word 'cruel' is derived from the Latin 'crudelis', meaning 'rough' or 'rude'. It transitioned into Old French as 'cruel', eventually entering Middle English. In its evolution, the suffix '-est' was added to denote the superlative degree, indicating the highest level of cruelty. The concept of cruelty has existed throughout history, often associated with the acts of violence, deprivation, and a lack of empathy. This term has been used in literature and legal contexts to highlight the severity of actions taken against others, reflecting societal attitudes towards morality and justice.
