The Columbia Guide to Standard American English



sabotage (n., v.)   

 

Use both verb and noun (pronounced SA-bo-TAHZH) only of "malicious, secret damage."



Most dictionaries now record more generalized meanings, "destroy" and "destruction," respectively, 



but Edited English reserves both noun and verb for destructive work done on the sly.
