Etymology of VANDALL

The word "vandal" originates from the Old Norse term "vǫndr", which means "twig" or "rod". The Vandals were an ancient Germanic tribe that played a prominent role in the decline of the Western Roman Empire. Over time, "vǫndr" evolved into the Old High German term "Wandal" and Middle High German "Wandel", specifically referring to these Germanic people. From the Middle Ages onward, the term "Vandal" was used more broadly to denote someone who engaged in destructive or senseless behavior, reflecting the Vandals' reputation as plunderers and marauders. Today, "vandal" refers to a person who intentionally damages or destroys property, often associated with acts of graffiti or vandalism.
