Where this word comes from
Uncertain. Some possibilities are presented below: * From Vulgar Latin *exturpiāre, from Latin ex- (“throughout; thoroughly”) + turpis (“ugly; unsightly”) + -are (infinitive suffix); literally, “to [make someone look] ugly throughout”, “to [render someone] thoroughly unsightly” (by maiming etc.). * From Vulgar Latin *sturpare, from Latin stuprare (“to defile; to rape”); if so, it would be a doublet of stuprare (“to rape”). * From Vulgar Latin *disturpare, from Latin deturpare (“to disfigure”); a doublet of deturpare in this case.
