Word origin
The word 'saboteur' originated from the French word 'saboter', which means to walk noisily or to work carelessly. It was first used in the context of industrial action in the 19th century, where workers would deliberately slow down production or damage machinery as a form of protest or resistance against their employers. The term later evolved to refer to individuals who carry out acts of sabotage in various contexts, including warfare, espionage, and activism.
