Word origin
The word 'intruder' originated from the Latin word 'intrudere', which means 'to thrust in'. It entered the English language in the mid-16th century with the meaning of 'one who thrusts oneself in'. Over time, the term evolved to refer to someone who enters a place or system without permission. The concept of intrusion has been a concern for security and privacy throughout history, leading to the development of various measures to protect against intruders, both physical and digital.
