Etymology

The word 'dissuade' originated from the Latin word 'dissuadere', which means 'to advise against'. It entered the English language in the late 16th century. The prefix 'dis-' implies negation or removal, while 'suadere' means 'to urge'. Therefore, 'dissuade' literally means 'to urge away from'. Over time, the word has evolved to represent the act of persuading someone not to do something.
