Etymology
The word 'crass' originates from the Latin word 'crassus', meaning 'thick, dense, or gross'. It made its way into Middle English through the Old French term 'crasse', which retained the original meanings regarding thick and coarse substances. In English, 'crass' emerged around the late 14th century, beginning to denote not just physical thickness, but also a figurative sense of mental or moral coarseness. As the English language evolved, 'crass' came to describe a certain lack of sensitivity and refinement in behavior or attitudes. The comparative form 'crasser' follows standard English rules for creating comparatives, meaning it is used to indicate something that has more of the quality described by 'crass'. Over time, it has been used to critique social conduct, particularly in settings that demand decorum.
