Word origin
The word 'terrorism' originated in the late 18th century from the French word 'terrorisme', which in turn was derived from the Latin word 'terror', meaning 'great fear'. Terrorism has been used throughout history as a tactic to achieve various political, religious, or ideological goals. The modern concept of terrorism as we understand it today has evolved over time, often associated with acts of violence and intimidation to instill fear and achieve specific objectives.
