Etymology

From Middle English violaten (“to defile, render impure”), from violat(e) (“defiled, desecrated”, also used as the past participle of violaten) + -en, borrowed from Latin violātus, perfect passive participle of violō (“to treat with violence (whether bodily or mental)”), see -ate (verb-forming suffix). Ultimately from vīs (“strength, power, force, violence”).

From Middle English violat, from Classical Latin violātus.

Webster’s 1913

  1. verb To treat in a violent manner; to abuse.
  2. verb To do violence to, as to anything that should be held sacred or respected; to profane; to desecrate; to break forcibly; to trench upon; to infringe.

Etymology [L. violatus, p. p. of violare to violate, fr. vis strength, force. See Violent.]
