The word 'nuisance' is derived from the French word 'nutre' and latin word 'Nocere' which mean to hurt or to annoy. Nuisance has been defined to be anything done to the hurt or annoyance of the lands, tenants or Heredetarment of another, and not amounting to a tresspass.
Nuisance is an injury to the right of a property to undisturbed enjoyment of it and result from an improper use by another person in his own property. A nuisance may be caused by negligence, but nuisance is no branch of the law of negligence.
According to Salmond, "the wrong of nuisance consists of in causing or allowing without lawful justification (but so as to common to a tresspass) the escape of any deleterious thing from his land or from elsewhere into land in possession of the plaintiff, e.g., water, smoke, smell, fumes, gas, noise, heat e.t.c.
