What are some good synonyms for the word * violation *?

Question

I'm looking for terms/imagery that kind of transcend "transgression" and "infringement". Any ideas?

Answer 1

Here's an idea. How about ultraviolation? Such an act could be characterized as ultraviolent and the systematic use of such behavior be called ultaviolence? If a color can be ultraviolet, why can't an infraction be ultraviolent?

Answer 2

As there no particular synonyms for the word, 'Violation, let us have the Overview (Definition) of noun violation:

QUOTE "The noun violation has 5 senses (first 4 from tagged texts)

1. (6) misdemeanor, misdemeanour, infraction, offence, offense, infringement -- (a crime less serious than a felony)

2. (2) infringement -- (an act that disregards an agreement or a right; "he claimed a violation of his rights under the Fifth Amendment")

3. (2) trespass, encroachment, intrusion, usurpation -- (entry to another's property without right or permission)

4. (1) irreverence, violation -- (a disrespectful act)

5. rape, violation, assault, ravishment -- (the crime of forcing a woman to submit to sexual intercourse against her will)" UNQUOTE

FLOUTING, DESECRATING / DESECRATION, DamagIng and Destroying & Raping are some of the other words that mean the same as 'Violation' in some of its senses. Probably, some of these will be what you are looking for.

Answer 3

I normally use the MS Word Thesaurus because not only does it offer synonyms but you can expand each of the suggestions. It often encourages me to modify the text for better meaning.

This is an on-line version, offering hundreds of options from several references.

Answer 4

A lot of "hate speech" is taken as absolute, with no grey area. Political correctness knows no bounds, unfortunately; not everything that can be related to ethnicity is hateful. Some people seem to prefer a world of silence, where nobody can say anything because it can be related to some form of hate speech. It's pretty ridiculous these days.

Answer 5

I think your best bet is to get a dictionary of synonyms. It has everything you need. You can check your local library and it costs nothing. If not, try the internet. Look for free dictionaries. Hope this helps...
