Word origin

The word 'violated' comes from the Latin word 'violatus', which means 'broken' or 'injured'.

When these rules are broken or disregarded, a sense of violation is often felt. The word has evolved to encompass various contexts, from legal violations to personal boundaries, reflecting the complexity of human interactions and values.
