Etymology
The term 'scum' originally comes from the Old English term 'scuma', meaning 'foam' or 'froth'. It was used in the late Middle Ages to refer to the unwanted substances that rise to the surface of liquids, such as scum on boiling water or spoiled milk. Over time, the meaning of 'scum' evolved to describe people considered worthless or despicable, leading to the verb form 'to scum' emerging in slang usage in the late 20th century. It became a colloquial term that reflects social disapproval of actions considered deceitful or unethical.
