Etymology

The word 'coarse' originates from the late Middle English term 'cors', which comes from the Old French 'cors', meaning 'rough' or 'crude'. This, in turn, derives from the Latin word 'crude' meaning 'raw' or 'unrefined'. The transition from the original meaning of rude or unpolished to describe textures and qualities reflects the broader application of the term in various contexts. Over time, 'coarse' has found its place in various fields, including textiles, geology, and food production, to describe the quality of materials and their suitability for different purposes.
