Etymology
The word 'extreme' has its origins in the Latin word 'extremus,' which means 'outermost' or 'farthest.' This Latin term evolved through Middle English, where it was adopted in the 14th century as 'extreme' to denote anything that lies at the outer limits of standards or norms. Over time, the usage of 'extreme' expanded beyond its original connotations, becoming associated with intensity and profound states, both positive and negative. In contemporary usage, it often refers to actions, opinions, or conditions that are far from the average or that challenge conventional perspectives.
