Etymology
The word 'wanton' originates from the Middle English term 'wanton', which derives from the Old Norse word 'vont'. In its earlier forms, it described someone who was playful or lively. Over time, its meaning evolved to encompass a sense of excess and lack of restraint, especially in the context of behavior that is considered immoral or lascivious. The shift in connotation became more pronounced in literature, where wanton behavior was often depicted as reckless and forgiven in the face of passion or indulgence. By the 14th century, 'wanton' began to gain its modern meaning, focusing on excessiveness and a disregard for social norms and moral boundaries.
