Origin of the word hybrid

The word "hybrid" originates from the Latin word "hybrida," which itself comes from the Greek word "hȳbris," meaning "insolence" or "outrage." Initially, "hybrida" referred to an animal produced by crossbreeding different species, often considered unnatural and offensive to the gods. Over time, the meaning broadened to encompass anything mixed or combined, like a "hybrid" car using both gasoline and electric power.
