Usage: "Decimate" is often erroneously used to mean "to exterminate" or "to destroy completely." The common expression "completely decimate" is both illogical and confusing. Origin: Roman military tacticians reasoned that a military unit could continue to fight effectively if less than 10% of its members were killed. A unit that suffered more than one in ten killed usually had to reorganize before continuing a campaign. Generals of the Roman Imperial Army later used this rule of thumb to punish cowardly or disobedient legions. The members of the unit to be punished by decimation were lined up unarmed in a single file between two fully armed legions of loyal soldiers. The soldiers were counted in order from one to ten, and each unlucky tenth soldier was executed on the spot. The survivors of this ruthless punishment were returned to duty to face death another day. |
