Etymology

**Vulgarité** comes from Old French *vulgarité*, itself borrowed from Latin *vulgaritas* “commonness, base character.” The Latin term is derived from *vulgaris* “common, ordinary,” which in turn comes from *vulgus* “the common people, crowd.” Originally meaning simply “ordinary” or “popular,” the word acquired a moral judgment in the late Middle Ages, evolving into the modern sense of “coarse or indecent.”
