Definition
- 1Action de violer un engagement, de porter atteinte à un droit, d’enfreindre des règles, profanation d'une chose sacrée. L'utilisation de ce terme dans certains contextes est quelque peu sujette à discussion, en raison de son lien étymologique avec le terme latin "viola (pensée sauvage)", utilisé notamment pour nommer la violence. Un vol sans violence est une infraction, un délit, un crime, enfreint la loi, mais ne peut pas vraiment être associé au terme de violation pour cette raison.
- 2Atteinte à ce que l'on doit respecter, profanation.
