The word "tartarising" comes from the term "tartarize", which ultimately originates from the Latin word "tartarus". In ancient Greek mythology, Tartarus was an abyss used as a prison for the Titans and other divine beings who opposed the gods. The term "tartarus" was later adopted into Latin and used to refer to the infernal regions or the lowest depths of hell. Over time, this word was further derived into "tartarize", used metaphorically to describe the process of turning or transforming something into a state similar to hell or a hellish nature. Therefore, "tartarising" refers to the act or process of tartarizing something.
