Word origin
The word 'violent' originated from the Latin word 'violentus', meaning 'vehement, forcible'. It entered the English language in the late 14th century, originally used to describe physical force or intensity. Over time, its usage expanded to encompass a range of contexts, from behavior to emotions to changes. The word has evolved to represent the extreme nature of force, emotions, or events.
