Etymology
The word 'smutty' originates from the late 19th century, derived from 'smut', which means soot or dirt. The context of the term evolved to refer specifically to dirty or obscene material. In literature and cultural discussions, 'smut' didn't just present dirt in a literal sense; rather, it became associated with anything considered morally questionable, particularly in relation to sexual content. The suffix '-y' transforms 'smut' into an adjective, indicating that something is characterized by smut. Over the years, the perception of 'smutty' content has varied significantly, often reflecting changing societal norms regarding sexuality and obscenity.
