Word origin
The word 'libertine' originated in the late 16th century, derived from the Latin 'libertinus' meaning 'freedman' or 'one lacking moral restraint'. It was initially used to refer to a freed slave in ancient Rome who had been released from legal constraints. Over time, the term evolved to describe a person who disregards societal norms and moral principles, especially in matters of pleasure and indulgence.
