Etymology
1. c.1450 (implied in perpetration), from L. perpetratus, pp. of perpetrare "to perform, to accomplish," from per- "completely" + patrare "carry out," originally "bring into existence," from pater "father" (see father). Neither good nor bad in L., first used in Eng. in statutes, hence its sense of "to perform criminally." Perpetrator is 1570, from L.L. perpetrator, from L. perpetrare. Police slang shortening perp (e.g. perp walk) is Amer.Eng., by 1940s.
2. From Middle English perpetrat (“committed, perpetrated”), from Latin perpetrātus, past participle of perpetrāre (“to carry through”).

What Polina is good for is to fall head over ears in love. That is MY opinion. Look at her—especially when she is sitting alone, and plunged in thought. All this was pre-ordained and foretold, and is accursed. Polina could perpetrate any mad act. She—she—But who called me by name?" I broke off. [1867, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, chapter VIII, in The Gambler, translated by C. J. Hogarth^(https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Gambler_(1867)/VIII):]
