Word origin

The term 'exhibitionist' originated in the early 20th century from the French word 'exhibition,' which means 'showing' or 'displaying.' It is derived from the Latin 'exhibere,' meaning 'to hold out' or 'to present.' The use of 'exhibitionist' in sexual contexts began to appear in psychological literature as the field of psychoanalysis grew in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was used to describe individuals who engage in public displays of their bodies for sexual gratification, often linked to concepts of taboo and social norms. The phenomenon of exhibitionism has been discussed in various psychological theories, identifying it as a form of paraphilia, a desire that deviates from normative sexual practices. Over the decades, the term has expanded to encompass a broader range of behaviors and motivations, ultimately reflecting societal attitudes towards sexuality and public decency.
