Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin 'invehere', meaning 'to carry against, assail, or attack', combining 'in-' (against) and 'vehere' (to carry). Entering the English language in the 16th century via Middle French, it initially retained physical connotations of sailing or charging against, before shifting exclusively to verbal assault and vehement protest.
