The difference between prejudice and prejudice lies in the linguistic change that occurs in the prefix to refer to injury as damage that leads to judicial intervention, while prejudice refers to a moral damage caused by the prejudice of another.
Prejudice is the previous judgment that one has of a person. This prejudging usually causes personal or moral damage to the affected person. It is made up of prefix pre- that refers to something previous.
Harm is made up of prefix per-, which refers to a complete action. In this case, harm is an action that causes deep damage that usually requires a trial.
Today the word prejudice is used to refer to the previous judgment that one or more people have about another person or group caused by stereotypes that can lead to discrimination and racism; and prejudice to refer to a verifiable and visible damage of a person or group to another person or group.
Prejudice and prejudice both derive from the Latin word praeiudiciumwhich represents the first trial or interrogation before a trial, that is, a pre-trial.
The change in the prefixes of the words prejudice and prejudice begins to be observed when the Romans Cicero and Seneca begin to use praeiudicium not only to refer to the prior trial of material damage, but to the moral damage of presuming or presuming a crime against someone damaging their social position.
