Etymology

The term 'blatancy' stems from the root 'blatant', which is derived from the late Middle English term 'blatant', meaning 'a howling or noisy creature'. The word originally described a loud and offensive noise, which evolved to refer to actions or behaviors that are overtly conspicuous and offensive. Its usage became more widely accepted in the 18th century as it began to describe not just sound but behaviors that are flagrant and unapologetic. The evolution of the word reflects societal attitudes towards behaviors deemed unacceptable or inappropriate, often criticizing actions that ignore social norms or ethical standards. Over time, 'blatancy' has come to encapsulate a range of behaviors that are seen as unapologetically inappropriate, reinforcing the idea that some actions can be so egregious that they cannot be overlooked.
