Etymology

The term 'execrate' comes from the Latin word 'execrari', which means 'to curse or to declare something as cursed'. The roots of 'execrari' can be broken down into 'ex-' meaning 'out of' and 'sacrare' meaning 'to consecrate' or 'to make sacred'. Therefore, the original sense of the word implied an act of being cast out from what is sacred, reflecting a strong repudiation of something. The modern use of 'execrated' has evolved to represent not just cursing, but also a severe moral indignation. The word has been part of the English lexicon since the late 15th century, finding its way as a formal term often used in literary or political discourse to emphasize contempt and criticism towards certain actions, ideologies, or individuals.
