Word origin
The word 'denunciation' comes from the Latin word 'denuntiatio', which means 'proclamation'. It has been used in English since the late 15th century, originally in a legal context to refer to the public accusation of a crime. Over time, the term has broadened to encompass various forms of public condemnation or disapproval.
