jihad
A word meaning "journey" which was manipulated to mean "holy war" in the times just before the crusades when several muslim sects banned together to attempt to force christians out in order to expand their own territory, thus resulting in a christian "holy war" or crusade.
Although jihad has been contorted into a word simply meaning "killing christians" to extremist muslims it once actually meant something.
