Etymology of IMPAIRING
The word "impairing" is derived from the verb "impair".
The etymology of "impair" can be traced back to the Old French word "empeirer", meaning "to make worse" or "to render inferior". This Old French term itself developed from the Latin word "imperāre", which had a similar meaning of "to make worse" or "to diminish".
The Latin "imperāre" originated from the prefix "im-" (meaning "not" or "without") combined with the verb "parāre" (meaning "to prepare" or "to obtain"). Over time, "parāre" evolved into "pēior" in Latin, which meant "worse" or "inferior". Thus, the word "impair" came to signify the act of diminishing or making something worse.
