What language does the term vandal come from?

The term "vandal" comes from the Vandal people, a Germanic tribe that migrated to the Roman Empire in the 5th century CE.

They were known for their fierce fighting and their sacking of the Roman city of Rome in 455 CE. This act of destruction and plunder became associated with the Vandal people, and the term "vandalism" came to mean the act of intentionally destroying property.
