Etymology

The term 'nark' is believed to have originated in British slang in the early 20th century, initially used to describe a police informant or an undercover agent. It gained popularity in the 1950s and 1960s, particularly in youth subcultures, where it was often used to denote an individual who betrayed their friends or group by reporting their misdeeds to authorities. The action of 'narking' became synonymous with a lack of loyalty and trust among peers. The word is still relevant today, especially in informal and slang contexts, where it evokes feelings of betrayal and disloyalty.
