Etymology
The word 'scandalled' is derived from the noun 'scandal,' which has roots in Middle English 'scandale', borrowed from Old French 'scandale', and from Latin 'scandalum', meaning 'a trap or snare.' The concept originally referred to something that caused an offense or a stumbling block to morality. As the word evolved through the centuries, its meaning expanded to include social disapproval and public outrage towards certain actions or behaviors, particularly those of public figures. The adjective form 'scandalled' began being used to signify the state of being involved in such disrepute, particularly in the context of morality and ethics. The modern use of the term highlights the impact of societal norms on personal conduct and the intense scrutiny that individuals can face in the age of social media and instant communication.
