Sabotaged

/ˈsæbətɑʒd/ verb

Definition

Deliberately damaged, destroyed, or disrupted something to prevent it from working properly.

Etymology

From French 'sabot' (wooden shoe), originating from French workers who allegedly threw their wooden shoes into machinery to protest working conditions during industrialization.

Kelly Says

The word literally comes from a shoe—during the Industrial Revolution, workers would supposedly throw their 'sabots' into looms to break them as a form of protest, making this one of history's most literal workplace rebellion.
