  Hate speech in modern use is attested by 1990. The term is found in a translation, published in 1898, of the Anglo-Saxon poem called "The Fall of the Angels," telling of Satan's revolt, where it renders Anglo-Saxon hetespraece: Dear was he to our Lord; but it could not be hidden That his angel began to be proud, Lifted himself against his Leader, sought hate-speech, Words of boasting against him, and would not serve God. ["Education," vol. xviii, No. 6, Feb. 1898] Faith based term, people are using politically recently.

    Ah. So it's a contraction of "freedom of speech" and "none of my business".
