Origin:
The word "hate" has its roots in Proto-Germanic. It is believed that the word originally meant "to mark off" or "to separate." This is reflected in the Old English word "hetan," which means "to command" or "to order." Over time, the meaning of "hate" evolved to refer to a strong emotional dislike or aversion that leads to a desire to separate oneself from the object of hate.
