Etymology of USURE

The word "usure" is derived from the Old French term "usure", which was borrowed from the Latin word "usura". In Latin, "usura" refers to the practice of charging interest on lent money. This Latin term ultimately traces back to the verb "uti", meaning "to use" or "to employ". Over time, the meaning of "usure" evolved to denote the act of lending money at exorbitant or unfair interest rates. In modern English, "usure" has transformed into "usury", which generally refers to the practice of charging excessively high interest rates.
