Etymology of PERVERT
The word "pervert" originated from the Latin word "pervertere", which is a combination of "per" (meaning "thoroughly" or "completely") and "vertere" (meaning "to turn"). The Latin word conveyed the idea of turning something completely, especially in the context of corrupting or distorting it. Over time, the word evolved into Old French "pervertir", and eventually into Middle English "pervert", retaining the underlying notion of twisted or distorted behavior.
