Etymology

The word 'scandaled' derives from the Middle English term 'scandal,' which originates from the Old French 'escandale' and Latin 'scandalum.' The Latin word itself came from the Greek 'skandalon,' meaning a trap or snare, which metaphorically evolved to represent anything that causes stumbling, offense, or outrage. Over the centuries, the meaning shifted from a mere hindrance to one's moral conduct to signify actions or events that provoke public disapproval or moral indignation. The evolution of the term reflects societal changes in what is considered scandalous and has continued to adapt in modern usage as the boundaries of acceptable behavior have shifted.
