Etymology

The word 'eschewed' originates from the Old French word 'eschiver', which means 'to avoid'. The term has its roots in the Latin word 'excaevare', meaning 'to cut out or remove'. Over time, it evolved in English to convey a more deliberate sense of avoidance. Eschewing something often carries an ethical or moral connotation, suggesting that the avoidance is not merely about personal preference, but is rooted in a reasoning that supports a particular value or belief. The term is frequently used in literary and formal contexts, emphasizing the intentional nature behind the action.
