The term 'Tort' has been derived from which Latin word?

Tortum

The correct answer is Option (3) → Tortum

'Tort' essentially means a 'wrong' and originates from the Latin word 'tortum', which means 'twisted' or 'crooked'. In law, tort is defined as a civil wrong or a wrongful act, of one, either intentional or accidental, that results in the injury or harm to another who in turn has recourse to civil remedies for damages or a court order or injunction. The definitional features of tort are that it is a civil wrong as distinguished from criminal wrong; both the procedures and remedies are different in civil law and criminal law.
