49382 vandal [[English]] ipa :/ˈvændəl/[Etymology] edit1660s, “willful destroyer of what is beautiful or venerable”,[1] from Vandal, referring to a member of an ancient Germanic people, the Vandals, who are associated with senseless destruction as a result of their sack of Rome under King Genseric in 455. During the Enlightenment, Rome was idealized, while the Goths and Vandals were blamed for its destruction. The Vandals may not have been any more destructive than other invaders of ancient times, but they did inspire English poet John Dryden to write, Till Goths, and Vandals, a rude Northern race, Did all the matchless Monuments deface (1694).[2] However, the Vandals did intentionally damage statues, which may be why their name is associated with the vandalism of art. The coining of French Vandalisme by Henri Grégoire in 1794 to describe the destruction of artwork following the French Revolution popularized the idea further, and the term was quickly adopted across Europe, including as English vandalism. [Noun] editvandal (plural vandals) 1.A person who needlessly destroys, defaces, or damages other people's property. 2.(Should we delete(+) this sense?) (computing) A person who needlessly destroys, defaces, or damages software. The anonymous vandal was blocked after going on a vandalism spree.

[Etymology 5] editFrom Old French frete, fraite, fraicte, possibly partly confused with fret (“channel, strait”).[5] [Etymology 6] editAttested since the mid-1800s, of unknown origin.[6] Perhaps related to fret (“to form a pattern upon”),[7] fret (“to consume”) (as the fog does the land), or fret (“to agitate the surface of water”) (as the wind which blows the fog inland does); compare the semantics of haar (“cold wind; misty wind; fog, mist”).

[Etymology 5] editFrom Old French frete, fraite, fraicte, possibly partly confused with fret (“channel, strait”).[5] [Etymology 6] editAttested since the mid-1800s, of unknown origin.[6] Perhaps related to fret (“to form a pattern upon”),[7] fret (“to consume”) (as the fog does the land), or fret (“to agitate the surface of water”) (as the wind which blows the fog inland does); compare the semantics of haar (“cold wind; misty wind; fog, mist”).
