Etymology

The word 'infringeable' derives from the verb 'infringe,' which comes from the Latin 'infringere,' meaning 'to break' or 'to weaken.' The prefix 'in-' denotes negation or opposition, while 'fringe' comes from the Latin 'frangere,' meaning 'to break.' In a legal context, rights and privileges have been historically categorized as either alienable or infringeable, with the latter representing core human rights that cannot be taken away or violated. The notion of infringeable rights gained prominence in the context of individual freedoms and constitutional law during the Enlightenment period, reflecting the growing emphasis on personal liberties and legal protections against oppression. As societies evolved, particularly with democratic developments, discussions around what constitutes infringeable rights became a crucial aspect of legal philosophy and human rights discourse.
