Etymology
The term 'scandaling' originates from the word 'scandal', which has its roots in the Latin word 'scandalum', meaning 'a trap' or 'a stumbling block'. This word was adopted into Old French as 'escandale', which then transitioned into Middle English. The concept of 'scandal' encompassed a wide range of social and moral transgressions, particularly those that attracted public attention. Over time, 'scandaling' emerged as a verb form, capturing the active process of causing scandalous situations. The implications of scandaling have evolved, but it historically involved the exposure of wrongdoing and the resulting public outrage. The rise of social media has intensified the phenomenon of scandaling, making it even more pervasive in contemporary society.
