Etymology

The term 'groper' originated from the verb 'to grope', which dates back to the late Middle Ages. The Old English 'gropian' means to feel or touch, especially in search of something. This verb has evolved over the centuries to denote more specific and often negative connotations associated with inappropriate or sexual touching. The slang usage of 'groper' gained popularity in the late 20th century, especially in contexts related to sexual harassment and consent violations, highlighting the importance of consent in interpersonal interactions. The negative implications of the word have contributed to increased awareness and discussions around sexual assault and harassment, leading to cultural shifts in how such behaviors are addressed.
