Etymology

The word 'barefacedly' derives from the adjective 'barefaced', which means having a face that is bare, unclothed, or openly displayed. The term originated in the early 17th century and was used to describe individuals who did not hide their faces or actions, often implying a lack of shame or modesty. The combination of 'bare' meaning exposed or uncovered and 'faced' refers to the literal openness, creating a strong connotation of boldness and audacity. Over time, the adverbial form 'barefacedly' has been used to characterize not just actions but also attitudes of impudence and blatant disregard for propriety.
