Etymology
The word 'infiltrate' originates from the Latin word 'infiltrare', which is composed of 'in-' meaning 'into' and 'filtrare' meaning 'to filter'. The term developed in the 20th century, primarily associated with military strategies and espionage activities. Infiltration tactics became prominent during both World Wars, as intelligence operations sought to penetrate enemy defenses and gather vital information. In modern usage, it extends beyond military contexts to include cybersecurity and law enforcement, reflecting the broadening of its application in various fields.
