Following may be an accurate definition of the contents of the material by Bing search:
A pervert is a term that can have different meanings depending on the context and the perspective of the person using it. Generally, it is used to describe someone whose sexual behavior or preferences are considered abnormal, unnatural, or unacceptable by the majority of society. However, this definition is subjective and may vary across cultures, religions, and historical periods.
According to the OxfordDictionaries, the word pervert can be used as both a noun and a verb. As a noun, it means “a person whose sexual behavior is regarded as abnormal and unacceptable”. As a verb, it means “to alter something from its original course, meaning, or state to a distortion or corruption of what was first intended” or “to lead someone away from what is considered right, natural, or acceptable”.
The word pervert comes from the Latin word pervertere, which means “to overturn, corrupt, or pervert”. It was first used in the 14th century as a verb to mean “to cause to turn aside or away from what is good or true or morally right”. The noun sense of “one that has been perverted” or “one given to some form of sexual perversion” dates from the late 19th century.
Some examples of how the word pervert is used in sentences are:
- He was charged with conspiring to pervert the course of justice by fabricating evidence in the trial.
- Hector is a man who is simply perverted by his time.
- These journalists are perverting the news.
