Etymology
The term 'garote' originates from the Spanish word 'garrote', which means 'to strangle' or 'to throttle'. The Spanish garrote became known as a method of execution during the Inquisition, where it was employed as a means of inflicting capital punishment. This method involved a cord or wire that would be tightened to strangle the victim. The practice was associated with brutal methods of execution prevalent throughout history, particularly in Spain and Latin America. It reflects the darker aspects of capital punishment and has been mentioned in various historical texts and accounts. The word 'garote' itself is derived from the Latin root 'garrotare', signifying the act of strangulation, evidencing the etymological evolution of this term over centuries.
