blackmail

blackmail refers to a situation that arises when a person threatens another person with some form of punishment if they do not offer some form of concessions. blackmail is usually the result of one person somehow obtaining embar-ssing information about another and threatening to disclose it unless some form of payment (money or favors) is offered. the term originates from the words “black” and “mail”, which referred to the dark or threatening nature of the letters (mail) that were received detailing the threat. although blackmail usually entails paying a price to obtain another person’s silence about an embar-ssing situation, it need not involve an actual event before it can be conducted. the threat of embar-ssing someone for a contrived event can be enough to conduct blackmail effectively, provided the threat is believable.
