Word origin
The word 'scrupulousness' originated from the Latin word 'scrupulus', which means a small sharp stone. This term was used in ancient Rome to refer to a unit of weight or a small unit of measurement. Over time, the word evolved to represent a feeling of unease or doubt about a moral issue. The concept of scrupulousness as a quality of being careful and thorough developed in the English language around the 17th century.
