Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin verb pervertere, meaning 'to turn away, overturn, or corrupt,' formed from per- ('thoroughly, amiss') and vertere ('to turn'). Entering Middle English via Old French pervertir during the 14th century, the agent noun suffix '-er' was subsequently added to denote a person or agent who actively corrupts or misdirects something from its original course or truth.
