Word origin
The word 'treasonous' dates back to the late 16th century, derived from the Latin word 'traditio' meaning 'delivery' or 'surrender'. Originally used in legal contexts to refer to actions against one's sovereign or state, it has evolved to encompass broader notions of betrayal and disloyalty.
