ETIMOLOGIA DELLA PAROLA TORTURE
From Late Latin tortūra a twisting, from torquēre to twist.
CHE SIGNIFICA TORTURE IN INGLESE
Tortura
La tortura è l'atto di infliggere deliberatamente gravi dolori fisici o psicologici e possibilmente lesioni a una persona, di solito a chi è fisicamente frenato o altrimenti sotto il controllo o la custodia del torturatore e incapace di difendere contro ciò che viene fatto loro. La tortura è stata condotta o sanzionata da individui, gruppi e stati in tutta la storia dall'antichità al moderno, e le forme di tortura possono variare notevolmente in durata da pochi minuti a diversi giorni o addirittura a lungo. Le ragioni della tortura possono includere la punizione, la vendetta, la rielaborazione politica, la deterrenza, l'interrogazione o la coercizione della vittima o di un terzo, o semplicemente la gratificazione sadica di coloro che eseguono o osservano la tortura. Il torturatore può o non intende uccidere o danneggiare la vittima, ma a volte la tortura è deliberatamente fatale e può precedere un omicidio o servire come una forma crudele di pena capitale. In altri casi, il torturatore può essere indifferente alla condizione della vittima. In alternativa, alcune forme di tortura sono progettate per infliggere dolore psicologico o lasciare quanto meno lesioni fisiche o prove come possibile raggiungendo la medesima devastazione psicologica.
definizione di torture nel dizionario inglese
La prima definizione di tortura nel dizionario è quella di causare estremo dolore fisico, specialmente per estrarre informazioni, rompere la resistenza, ecc. Un'altra definizione di tortura è di dare angoscia mentale. La tortura deve anche trasformarsi in una forma grottesca.
