ssss1.As van Dijk (2008, p. 13) explains, this is not only the etymological meaning in Romance languages, but also in other languages: “In German, for instance, the victim is called Das Opfer, meaning the sacrifice; and in Swedish, Brottsoffer, the sacrifice of the crime. In Icelandic the word used for victim is Foernarlamb, meaning the sacrificial lamb. In Dutch the word is slachtoffer. The Dutch term means, literally, the butchered, sacrificial object. The identification of crime victims with sacrificial objects is not limited to English, Romance, or Germanic languages. In Russian (zherta), Hungarian (aldozot), and modern Greek (tema), to name just a few, crime victims are also referred to as sacrificial objects”. This seems to happen too in Hebrew and Arabic languages, but it does not happen in other languages such as Chinese or Japanese.
