Origin of the word abusive

The word "abusive" comes from the Latin word "abusivus," meaning "pertaining to abuse." "Abuse" itself has roots in the Latin "abusus," meaning "misuse" or "wrongful use." The "ab-" prefix implies a deviation from the norm or a misuse of something. Over time, "abusive" has evolved to describe behavior that is harmful, offensive, or inappropriate, especially involving physical or verbal attacks, neglect, or exploitation.
