To plagiarize means to pass off someone else's work, ideas, or words as one's own, without proper attribution or acknowledgment. It is an act of intellectual dishonesty and a breach of ethics. When someone plagiarizes, they intentionally or unintentionally deceive others by presenting copied material as if they created it themselves.
Plagiarism can take various forms, including copying and pasting entire passages or paragraphs from sources such as books, articles, or websites, without providing proper citation. It also encompasses paraphrasing someone else's ideas or arguments without giving credit to the original source. Plagiarism can occur in academic, professional, or creative contexts, and it is considered a serious offense in most educational institutions and professional settings.
The consequences of plagiarism can be severe, ranging from academic penalties such as failing grades, academic probation or even expulsion, to legal repercussions in professional contexts. In academic settings, plagiarism undermines the integrity of the learning process, as it inhibits the development of critical thinking, research skills, and the ability to formulate unique and original ideas. Furthermore, when someone plagiarizes, they unjustly benefit from the efforts and intellectual property of others, disregarding the principles of integrity, honesty, and respect for intellectual work.
To avoid plagiarism, proper citation and referencing of all sources used are necessary. This includes not only quoting and citing direct textual evidence, but also acknowledging when ideas or concepts are borrowed or influenced by other authors. By doing so, individuals uphold academic integrity, demonstrate respect for the intellectual contributions of others, and maintain the ethical standards necessary for honest and original work.

To steal from the writings of another; to adopt, without acknowledgment, the writings of another.

The word "plagiarise" has its origins in the Latin term "plagiarius", which originally referred to someone who kidnapped another person or enslaved them. Over time, the word's meaning evolved to include someone who stole literary works by passing them off as their own. In Latin, "plagiarius" is derived from "plagium", which means "kidnapping" or "the act of abducting". The modern usage of "plagiarise" emerged in the English language in the 17th century, associated with the act of stealing ideas or writings.
