Etymology
The word 'brazened' originates from the adjective 'brazen', which means made of brass or resembling brass in color. The term has its roots in the Old English 'brรฆs', meaning brass, and has evolved over time to take on a metaphorical meaning related to boldness and impudence. Initially used to describe something that is literally of brass, it gradually began to refer to people who exhibited a similar lack of shame or boldness in their actions. This figurative use became more prominent in the 19th century. The evolution from a material descriptor to one that describes forthright behavior encapsulates a cultural shift towards valuing boldness and confidence in various social contexts.
