Word origin
The word 'denier' has a long history dating back to the Middle Ages. It originated from the Latin word 'denarius', a Roman silver coin. Over time, the term evolved to refer to the measurement of the fineness of yarn, particularly in the textile industry. In more recent times, 'denier' has also been used to describe individuals who reject or refuse to accept the reality of certain issues, such as climate change.
