Definition
Something that causes harm, damage, or makes something worse.
Etymology
From Latin 'detrimentum' derived from 'deterre' meaning 'to wear away or rub off'; the word entered English in the 1400s to describe damage or loss.
Kelly Says
The phrase 'to the detriment of' became legal jargon because Latin-loving lawyers needed a formal way to describe harm in contracts, turning what could be simple English into something that required a dictionary.
