Etymology of PERVESTIGATION

The word "pervestigation" is a blend of two words: "perversion" and "investigation".

The word "perversion" derives from the Latin verb "pervertere", which means "to overturn" or "to corrupt". In its original meaning, perversion referred to the alteration or distortion of something from its proper or natural form.

The word "investigation" comes from the Latin verb "investigare", which means "to track" or "to search into". It implies examining or exploring something in a detailed manner to uncover facts, evidence, or information.

The blend of these two words resulted in "pervestigation", suggesting an investigative process or activity focused on uncovering or exploring acts or behaviors considered to be perverse or deviant.
