The word "bully" was first used in the 1530s [[meaning]] "sweetheart," applied to either sex, from the Dutch ''boel'' "lover, brother," probably diminutive of Middle High German buole "brother," of uncertain origin (compare with the German buhle "lover"). The meaning deteriorated through the 17th century through "fine fellow," "blusterer," to "harasser of the weak". This may have been as a connecting sense between "lover" and "ruffian" as in "protector of a [[prostitute]]," which was one sense of "bully" (though not specifically attested until 1706). The verb "to bully" is first attested in 1710.

Bullying ranges from [[simple]] one-on-one bullying to more [[complex]] bullying in which the bully may have one or more 'lieutenants' who may seem to be willing to [[assist]] the primary bully in his or her bullying activities. Bullying in [[school]] and the workplace is also referred to as [[peer]] [[abuse]]. Robert W. Fuller has analyzed bullying in the [[context]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankism rankism].

Bullying can occur in any [[context]] in which [[human being]]s [[interact]] with each other. This includes [[school]], [[church]], [[family]], the workplace, [[home]], and [[neighborhoods]]. It is even a common push factor in migration. Bullying can exist between social [[groups]], social [[classes]], and even between countries (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jingoism jingoism]). In [[fact]], on an international scale, [[perceived]] or real imbalances of [[power]] between [[nations]], in both economic systems and in [[treaty]] systems, are often cited as some of the primary causes of both [[World War I]] and [[World War II]].[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullying]
