Etymology

The word 'reviler' originates from the Middle English 'revilen,' which itself comes from the Old French 'reviler.' The Old French term is formed by the prefix 're-' meaning 'again' and 'viler,' meaning 'to vilify' or 'to slander.' This etymological history underscores the notion of speaking out with contempt and disdain. The term has been present in English literature since at least the 14th century, reflecting a longstanding cultural recognition of the practice of denigrating others through spoken words. Over the years, the prevalence of revilers has only increased, particularly with the rise of digital communication, where insults can spread rapidly and broadly.
