köken: From Ancient Greek βασανίζω (basanízō, “to examine, to investigate, put to the test”), from βάσανος (básanos, “touchstone”) + -ίζω (-ízō, “verbal suffix”), literally “to test with touchstone”. The modern sense of "torture" developed from the association of investigations and inquisitions of prisoners with physical tortures.
