SORN Meaning and Definition

1. Sorn is a verb that typically refers to the act of freeloaders' or squatters' occupation of someone else's property or home without permission or payment. It is characterized by the intentional and prolonged stay in another person's residence, often taking advantage of their hospitality or generosity, without providing any compensation or contribution in return. The term can be traced back to its Scottish origins, where it was commonly used to describe the practice of free lodging among gypsies and travelers during the 17th and 18th centuries.

   In contemporary usage, sorn is often employed to describe the act of staying in another person's home without invitation or without fulfilling the obligations of a renter or temporary resident. Sorners may stay in someone's residence while the homeowner is away, taking advantage of their absence and using their property without permission. This behavior is considered disrespectful and unethical, as it infringes on the rights and boundaries of the homeowner.

   Alternatively, sorn can also be used to describe the act of borrowing or taking someone else's belongings without their consent. It conveys a sense of unlawfulness or illegitimacy in appropriating another individual's possessions without permission or rightful ownership.

   Overall, sorn encapsulates the act of taking advantage of others' resources, property, or hospitality without proper authorization or recompense, often regarded as an unacceptable practice in both informal and legal contexts.

Etymology of SORN

The word "sorn" primarily has Scottish origins and is derived from the Old Norse term "sǫrn", which means "to seek food and lodging as a beggar or dependent". It made its way into the English language through the Scottish dialect. The word has been in use since the 15th century and originally referred to the act of lodging or boarding oneself with someone else without paying rent or contributing to the household expenses. Over time, the meaning of the word has expanded to include the idea of taking advantage of someone's hospitality without reciprocation.
