Etymology of POLLUTES
The word "pollutes" comes from the Latin verb "polluere". In Latin, "polluere" originally meant "to soil, defile, make dirty". It is derived from the combination of the prefix "po-" (a variant of "pro-", meaning "in front of" or "forward") and the verb "luere" (meaning "to smear, stain, pollute"). Over time, "polluere" has evolved in different languages to take on the sense of contaminating or making impure, as it is understood today in English.
