Nguồn gốc từ
ine-pro From Middle English tort ((uncountable) wrong; (countable) an injury, a wrong), from Old French tort (misdeed, wrong) (modern tort), from tortum (injustice, wrong), a noun use of a neuter singular participle form of Latin tortus (crooked; twisted), the perfect passive participle of torqueō (to bend or twist awry, distort), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *terkʷ- (to spin; to turn).
