Mayhem

Hosted by Mike Harding & Bana Haffar

Legally speaking, mayhem refers to the gruesome crime of deliberately causing an injury that permanently disfigures another. The name derives via Middle English from the Anglo-French verb maheimer (“to maim”) and is probably of Germanic origin. The disfigurement sense of mayhem first appeared in English in the 15th century. By the 19th century the word had come to mean any kind of violent behaviour; now, mayhem can be used to suggest any kind of chaos or disorder, as in “there was mayhem in the streets during the citywide blackout.”
