Word origin
The word 'impure' originated from the Latin word 'impurus', which means 'not clean' or 'unclean'. Over time, the word evolved to encompass both physical impurity, such as contaminated substances, and moral impurity, such as unethical behavior. The concept of purity has been significant in various cultures and religions, with impurity often associated with negativity or sin. In modern usage, 'impure' is commonly used to describe something that is contaminated or morally corrupt.
