THEFT
What theft means
The unlawful taking and carrying away of someone else's personal property with the intention to keep it permanently.
Where the word comes from
Theft comes from Old English *þiefth*, derived from *þeof* (thief). The root likely stems from Proto-Germanic *thaubiz*, related to the concept of grasping or seizing. The suffix *-th* formed nouns from verbs and adjectives, as in "growth" from "grow." The word has remained largely unchanged in form and meaning since Old English times.
