The word "harassment" has its roots in the French language. The verb "harasser" meant "to exhaust, tire out, wear out; to harry, torment, vex" in Middle French and Old French. It is thought to be derived from the Old French "harer," which meant "to set a dog on," and from the Frankish word "*hara," which was a command for a dog to attack[1]. The word "harassment" itself first appeared in English in the mid-18th century, and it referred to "the action of harassing; state of being harassed". In modern times, "harassment" is commonly understood as behavior that demeans, humiliates, or embarrasses a person, and it is characteristically identified by its unlikelihood in terms of social and moral reasonableness. It can take many forms, including verbal comments, engineered episodes of humiliation, and repeated attacks.
