Origin:
The word "perturb" has its roots in the Proto-Indo-European root "*tewrh₃-," which means "to confuse, disturb, stir up." This root is shared with other words such as "turbulent," "turmoil," "turbid," and "tornado."
In Latin, the verb "perturbare" literally means "to cause a complete disturbance." It is composed of the prefix "per-" (completely) and the verb "turbare" (to disturb).
The word "perturb" was first used in English in the early 15th century. It initially had a more specific meaning of "to mix up or confuse," but it gradually took on a broader sense of "to disturb or upset."
