Word origin
The term 'masturbate' has a complex etymology. It is derived from the Latin word 'masturbari,' which means 'to defile' or 'to dirty.' The word is believed to be composed of 'mas,' a term referring to the male sex, and 'turbare,' meaning 'to disturb' or 'to confuse.' Over time, it evolved to specifically denote the act of sexual self-stimulation. This term has been in use since the 17th century, reflecting various cultural attitudes towards sexuality throughout history. While masturbation was often viewed negatively by historical moralists and religious authorities, perspectives have shifted in modern times, with many considering it a normal aspect of human sexuality.
