Word Origin

The word "scandal" originates from the Greek word "skandalon," which referred to a trap or stumbling block. In ancient Greek, it was used metaphorically to describe a moral or ethical stumbling block that caused offense or led to disgrace. Over time, the word evolved to encompass the concept of disgraceful or shocking events, eventually adopting its modern meaning of a publicized and controversial wrongdoing or impropriety.
