Word origin
The word 'sabotage' originated in the French language during the Industrial Revolution. It comes from the word 'sabot,' which means a wooden shoe. The term 'sabotage' was first used in the context of workers throwing their wooden shoes (sabots) into machinery to break them and protest against their working conditions. Over time, 'sabotage' evolved to refer to any deliberate act of destruction or disruption, especially for political or military reasons.
