Etymology
The word 'ruination' has its origins in the Latin word 'ruinatio', meaning the action of falling down or the state of being fallen. It has been used in English since the late 16th century to describe the process or result of something being destroyed or ruined. The concept of ruination has been a common theme in literature and art, often symbolizing the transient nature of life and the inevitability of decay.
