EMPOISON Meaning and Definition

1. Empoison is a verb that refers to the act of poisoning or causing harm to someone or something by introducing a toxic substance into their system. It is derived from the Old French word "empoisoner," which originated from the Latin "in" (meaning 'in' or 'on') and "potio" (meaning 'a drink' or 'a potion').

   To empoison someone or something implies intentionally and maliciously contaminating their food, drink, or environment with a poisonous substance. This act is often driven by malign intentions, seeking to cause pain, illness, or even death to the victim.

   In a broader sense, empoison can also be used metaphorically, depicting the deliberate introduction of harmful ideas, beliefs, or influences into someone's mind or society. It implies an insidious manipulation or corruption that taints the affected person or the collective consciousness.

   The concept of empoison can be traced back to ancient times, where it was often associated with witchcraft, black magic, or acts of revenge. In legal contexts, it is considered a criminal offense, as it involves a violation of personal safety and well-being. Empoisoning can have severe consequences, leading to health complications, loss of life, or irreversible damage to the victim's physical or mental state.

   Overall, empoison refers to the malicious act of intentionally poisoning someone or something, both literally and metaphorically, with the intent of causing harm, suffering, or destruction.

Etymology of EMPOISON

The word "empoison" traces its etymology back to the Old French term "empoisoner", which emerged in the 13th century. It was derived from the combination of the prefix "en-" meaning "to cause" or "put into" and the noun "poison", which ultimately comes from the Latin word "potionem" meaning "a drink" or "a harmful mixture". Over time, the French "empoisoner" evolved into the Middle English term "empoisonen", which eventually became the modern English word "empoison". The term refers to the action of contaminating, tainting, or adulterating something with poison.
