[[English]]
ipa :/ˈɑːɡjʊmənt/[Etymology 1]
editFrom Middle English argument,[1] from Anglo-Norman and Old French arguement, from Latin argūmentum (“argument (for a position); evidence, proof; point, theme; thesis, topic; plot (in theatre)”), from arguere + -mentum (suffix indicating the instrument, medium, or result of something).[2] Arguere is the present active infinitive of arguō (“to argue, assert, declare; to make clear, prove, show; to accuse, charge with, reprove; to blame, censure; to denounce as false”), either ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂erǵ- (“silver, white; glittering”), or from Hittite [script needed] (arkuwā(i)-, “to make a plea, state one’s case”). The English word is analysable as argue + -ment.
[Etymology 2]
editThe obsolete senses are derived from Middle English argumenten (“to argue, discuss; to consider, reflect”),[3] from Old French argumenter (“to argue”), from Latin argūmentārī, the present active infinitive of argūmentor (“to adduce arguments or proof, prove, reason; to adduce (something) as argument or proof; to conclude”), from argūmentum (“argument (for a position); evidence, proof; point, theme; thesis, topic; plot (in theatre)”) (see further at etymology 1)[4] + -or (the first-person singular present passive indicative of -ō (suffix forming regular first-conjugation verbs)).The current sense is derived from the noun.

3.2013, Parmy Olson, We Are Anonymous, unnumbered page,
In that frame of mind, the worst thing that can happen will always be online. Being doxxed or ridiculed, for example, outweighs the offline risks of wasted time, poor health, or arrest.

Anonymous said: shit, I hope no one doxxes her. She actually delivered. She seems like a kind girl.
Anonymous replied: dude get a grip she gave her first name, her physician's full name, and even the dormitory area she lives in she wants to be found.
Anonymous replied: She is new. Any girl who uses signs or writes names on her body is clearly new to camwhoring, so they really don't know what they're getting themselves into.
