Etymology

The word 'censoriously' originates from the noun 'censor', which comes from the Latin 'censor', meaning 'to assess' or 'to judge'. In ancient Rome, a censor was a public official responsible for maintaining the census, moral conduct, and overseeing public morals. The role of the censor was to oversee the behavior of citizens, ensuring adherence to societal norms and standards. The adverb 'censoriously' is derived from the adjective 'censorious', which describes a propensity to criticize or disapprove. The usage of 'censorious' in English began in the 19th century, indicating a shift towards a more critical and judgmental lens through which individuals viewed others' behaviors and actions.
