Word origin
The word 'saboteur' originated in French during the early 20th century, derived from the word 'sabotage' which means to deliberately destroy or obstruct. It was initially used in the context of industrial or labor disputes where workers would intentionally damage machinery or equipment to protest against working conditions. The term has since evolved to encompass any deliberate act of disruption or damage for a specific purpose.
