Etymology
The word 'murder' comes from the Old English term 'morthor', which meant 'secret killing' and is derived from the Proto-Germanic *murรพrฤ , meaning 'deadly act or killing'. The word has evolved through Middle English as 'murdrie' to its current form. Historically, murder has been viewed differently across cultures, with specific legal and social consequences usually tied to the unlawful taking of a life. Over time, the concept of murder has expanded to include various degrees and motives, reflecting a society's evolving understanding of morality and justice.
