The English word TORTURE

Torture, according to the United Nations Convention Against Torture (an advisory measure of the UN General Assembly) is:

...any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him, or a third person, information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person, or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind, when such pain or suffering is inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity. It does not include pain or suffering arising only from, inherent in, or incidental to, lawful sanctions. --UN Convention Against Torture
It an American hasn't noticed, our language discloses that WORDS can be owned by cultural experts, authorities and professionals. The above quote regarding the UN General Assembly's definition of TORTURE discloses that those owing WORDS in our English language are not humans that share our own national borders.

The Nation/State has been replaced by MULTI-NATIONAL CORPORATIONS with the term BOUNDARY being a word that is no longer desired by globalist experts, authorities and professionals. The boundaries on each of our homes set out with a legal description is but a means for the government to own our real property with the structures (personal property) being taken and seized by a governmental body if real estate taxes are not paid by Americans.

TORTURE is a word that arrives in time from what I term the mists of antiquity and entered our own English language now with our American dialect way back in time and in the 15th century which lasted from 1401 to 1500. TORTURE became a verb (rather than just being a noun and perhaps like a gallows that you could visually view in 1580. The year 1580 was also the year that Sir Francis Drake completed his second circumnavigation of globe.

torture (n.)
late 15c. (implied in torturous), from M.Fr. torture "infliction of great pain, great pain, agony," from L.L. torture "a twisting, writhing, torture, torment," from stem of L. torquere "to twist, turn, wind, wring, distort" (see thwart). The verb is 1580s, from the noun. Related: Tortured; torturing.

To torture another is using TORTURE as a verb in contrast to the noun of a place of TORTURE. The dissection of the English language once in the Germanic Language family is the result of a Duke from France conquering the British Isles in c.1066 - the Norman Conquest. Those on the British Isles began to learn the language of their conquerors. Nothing new in the history of humanity and its seeming obsession to wage war and gain the pillages that are carried off by the those that conqueror.

I am a woman over 60 years old and I perceive torture with the eyes of a female that has thicker connecting cables between the left and right hemispheres of my brain than a male brains. This observable structural difference between the brains of males and females accommodate a mother's innate abilities to multi-task due to a WOMB in our bodies in contrast to a male. The expression that men are from mars and women from venus discloses in simple words the actual structural variance between the brains of males and females.
