Word origin

The word 'turbid' originated from the Latin word 'turbidus', meaning 'muddy, full of confusion'. It has been used in English since the late 16th century to describe water that is cloudy or opaque due to stirred-up sediment. Over time, its usage has expanded to describe not only water conditions but also thoughts or emotions that are confused or unclear.
