Etymology
The word 'revenge' originates from the Latin word 'vindicāre', which means to claim, punish, or avenge. Over time, it evolved through Old French 'revengier' during the 14th century, before making its way into Middle English as 'revenge.' The concept of revenge has been a part of human culture for centuries, often associated with themes of justice and retribution across various literatures and societies. In many traditions, the act of revenge is intricately linked to notions of honor and moral obligation. The regular use of the term in English reflects its longstanding presence in the language, embodying the complex human emotions surrounding loss and retribution.
