Etymology
'incarceration-advocating' originates from the combination of 'incarceration' and 'advocating', where 'incarceration' comes from Latin 'incarcerare', meaning 'to imprison', and 'advocating' comes from Latin 'advocare', meaning 'to call to one's aid'.
'Incarceration' evolved from the Latin 'incarcerare' through Old French 'incarcérer', while 'advocating' evolved from Latin 'advocare' through Old French 'avocacion'.
Initially, 'incarceration' meant 'to imprison', and 'advocating' meant 'to call to one's aid'. The combined term now refers to supporting imprisonment.
