Taking value from another without fair return or real consent. Exploitation is the thing this house's license names first and forbids outright.
Old French esploit (an accomplishment), from Latin explicitum, from explicare (to unfold), ex- plus plicare (to fold).
A word that once named a plain accomplishment, an unfolding of work into result, before it hardened into the taking of value from another without fair return or real consent. This house's own license names that taking first among what it forbids outright.
