Etymology

The word 'marooned' originates from the term 'maroon', which initially referred to fugitive slaves in the West Indies who formed communities in remote areas to escape slavery. Over time, 'marooned' came to describe the act of leaving someone stranded in a remote location. The term has since evolved to encompass the feeling of isolation and abandonment in challenging situations.
