Etymology

The term 'caddish' originates from the 19th century, deriving from 'cad', which itself has its roots in the early 16th century. The word 'cad' was used to refer to a man of low status or a disreputable person, often associated with being a scoundrel or a rogue. It may have been a shortened form of 'cadet', a term used for a young man in training, which slowly evolved to denote a man who is undignified and untrustworthy. Over time, 'caddish' came to specifically describe a gentleman who does not adhere to the expected code of conduct toward women, thereby emphasizing dishonorable actions. The negative connotation of the word has persisted, and it remains an adjective that signifies unchivalrous behavior.
