The term hubris originated in ancient Greek,[7] where it had several different meanings depending on the context: in legal usage it meant assault or sexual crimes and theft of public property,[8] and in religious usage it meant transgression against a god.[9] In ancient Greek, hubris referred to "outrage": actions that violated natural order, or which shamed and humiliated the victim, sometimes for the pleasure or gratification of the abuser. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7727.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7727.txt
