Etymology

The term 'worldly' originates from the Old English word 'weorold', a compound of 'wer' meaning man and 'ald' meaning age, which points to the notion of mankind's existence within the temporal realm. The word evolved through Middle English, retaining the sense of being related to the material or tangible world and the human experiences therein. This transition highlighted contrasts with spiritual or heavenly realms, thus leading to the derivation of 'worldliest' as a descriptor for those who embrace the tangible aspects of life over the ethereal. The modern use often reflects an awareness of the complexity of societal norms and material life, which can resonate with interpretations of cosmopolitanism and realism.
