For example, when one person's actions limit or diminish another person's rights or impose upon their privacy, it can be said that their rights have been infringed upon.

The word "infringed" is derived from the verb "infringe".
The etymology of "infringe" can be traced back to the Latin word "infringere", which is a combination of the prefix "in-" (meaning "into" or "against") and the verb "frangere" (meaning "to break").
From its Latin origins, "infringere" made its way into Old French as "enfraindre" and then into Middle English as "enfrangen", both of which meant "to break" or "violate". Over time, "enfrangen" transformed into "infringe", and the noun form "infringement" emerged to describe the act or instance of violating or breaking a law, right, or agreement.
