Etymology

The word 'incurring' originates from the Latin verb 'incurrere', which means 'to run into' or 'to fall upon'. This verb is formed from the prefix 'in-' meaning 'into' and 'currere' meaning 'to run'. The term evolved through Old French 'encourir' before entering Middle English as 'incurren'. Initially, it conveyed the sense of falling into an undesirable state or taking on a risk. Over time, its usage expanded to include financial contexts where it often describes the acquisition of liabilities or responsibilities. Today, 'incurring' is widely used in legal, financial, and conversational contexts to imply the acceptance of consequences arising from actions or decisions.
