As a law student, I can tell you that the word 'tort' comes from the French word for 'wrong'. Torts are, in a nutshell, civil wrongs. These include negligence, defamation, trespass and nuisance amongst others.
Negligence is the main tort, and this occurs when there is a duty of care which has been breached, and has resulted in an actionable harm.
