Word origin
The term 'saboteuse' originated during World War II and was used to describe women who were involved in sabotage operations, often as part of resistance movements against occupying forces. These women played a crucial role in disrupting enemy activities and communication lines. The word 'saboteuse' is derived from the French word 'saboter', which means to deliberately destroy or disrupt. Over time, the term has come to be associated with any individual, regardless of gender, who engages in sabotage activities.
