the.com/infringement

means An act of breaking the terms of a law, right, or agreement — usually someone else's copyright, patent, or trademark.

from From Latin infringere, 'to break off, damage, or weaken' — built from in- ('into') plus frangere ('to break'), the same root that gives us 'fracture' and 'fragment.' It entered English in the 1500s meaning to violate or defeat a law or right, long before it specialized into the copyright-and-patent sense we reach for today. The image underneath is still a literal snap: a right or rule, broken.
