Etymology
The word 'vile' originates from the Latin 'vilis,' meaning 'cheap' or 'of low worth.' It evolved through Old French and Middle English to describe something of poor quality or morally reprehensible characteristics. The superlative form 'vilest' emerged in the English language to signify the extreme degree of such moral degradation. Over time, 'vile' has also come to denote repugnance or loathsomeness in various contexts, with 'vilest' being used to express the utmost level of these negative qualities. The semantic development of the word encapsulates a transition from a sense of worthlessness to a powerful descriptor of moral outrage.
