Word origin
The word 'terrorist' originated in the late 18th century from the French word 'terroriste', which in turn was derived from the Latin word 'terror', meaning 'great fear'. Initially used during the French Revolution to describe those who advocated violence and intimidation to achieve political goals, the term 'terrorist' has evolved to encompass a broader range of individuals and groups engaging in similar activities.
