Question

perversion n.误用；歪曲；反常；性变态 (1) 她所讲的歪曲了事实。(2) 性变态是心理变态的一种表现形式。 The Latin word pervertere, which means "turn around," serves as the basis for the noun perversion, suggesting something that is contrary to something else. The word developed a religious meaning in the 15th century, when it came to be used to refer to any distortion of church doctrine. Around 1700, the word developed a secular meaning, denoting what was considered deviant sexual behavior — often any sexual behavior other than that used to reproduce.
