Etymology of CATHARISE

The word "catharise" is derived from the Greek word "kathairein", which means "to cleanse" or "to purify". The term originated from the Greek philosophical and religious movement known as Catharism, which emerged in the 11th century in Southern Europe. Catharism was associated with purifying the soul and rejecting material possessions, as adherents believed in the existence of two opposing cosmic forces—good and evil. Over time, the word "catharise" has been incorporated into the English language to indicate a process of cleansing or purifying something, usually referring to a physical or emotional purification.
