Etymologi

Ordet blackmail kommer fra gammelengelsk og er dannet af to dele: black og mail. Black kommer fra det gammelengelske ord blæc, som betyder mørk eller sort. Det henviser typisk til farven på kul eller skidt. Mail stammer fra det gammelfranske ord mal, som betyder betaling eller afgift. Det blev senere lånt ind i engelsk som mail, der refererer til penge eller værdifulde genstande.Således refererer blackmail oprindeligt til en form for betaling eller afgift, der blev pålagt, ofte med trusler om skade eller negativ eksponering af en person eller organisation. Ordet bruges typisk i dag til at beskrive afpresning ved at true med at afsløre kompromitterende oplysninger, skade nogen eller offentliggøre privat information, medmindre der betales penge eller ydes tjenester.
