Word origin
The term 'vandal' originated from the name of an ancient Germanic tribe called the Vandals. The Vandals were known for their destructive behavior during their invasion of North Africa in the 5th century AD. Over time, the term 'vandal' evolved to describe anyone who engages in senseless destruction or damage to property. The association with the Vandals has led to the word 'vandal' carrying a negative connotation related to destruction and vandalism.
