Etymology

The word 'incurred' comes from the Latin 'incurrere', meaning 'to run into, rush in, or become liable to'. This Latin root is a combination of 'in-' (meaning 'in, into') and 'currere' (meaning 'to run'). The term evolved through the Old French 'encourir' in the medieval period before entering the English language in the 15th century. Originally, it had a broader sense of running into something but became more associated with financial obligations over time. The legal and financial contexts in which 'incurred' is often used contributed to its modern understanding, emphasizing the responsibility or liability that results from actions taken.
