Etymology

The word 'frump' originated in the early 18th century and is believed to be of imitative origin, mimicking the sound of a gust of wind or a sudden shower. Over time, it evolved to describe a person who is old-fashioned or dowdy in appearance. The term has since been used to refer to both fashion and personality traits, often in a pejorative manner.
