Sabotage means damaging or destroying something on purpose, often secretly, to stop it from working or succeeding - most often used for machines, plans, or work, but also for relationships, like "she sabotaged her own chances by lying." It always carries the idea that someone did it deliberately, to cause failure, often from the inside.
蓄意破壞、暗中搞破壞。
組成From French "sabot" (a wooden shoe). One popular story says workers threw wooden shoes into machines to stop them, but word historians aren't sure this ever really happened, so treat it as a fun story rather than proven history.
