Etymology
The word 'evict' originated from the Latin word 'evictus', which means 'conquer' or 'overcome'. It first appeared in English around the 15th century. The concept of eviction has been present in various legal systems throughout history, often as a means for landlords or authorities to regain possession of property or remove individuals from certain premises. Eviction laws and processes have evolved over time to provide a balance between landlord rights and tenant protections.
