Etymology of MOST IMPROPRIETOUS

The word "most improprietous" appears to be a combination of two separate words: "most" and "impropriety".

The word "most" comes from the Old English "mǣst", which means "greatest or highest in degree, extent, or intensity". It has been used in English since the 9th century.

The word "impropriety" comes from the Latin "impropretas", which means "impropriety, incorrectness, absurdity". It entered English in the late 16th century from French. It refers to a lack of proper behavior, manners, or appropriateness.

By combining these two words, "most improprietous" seems to signify the utmost or extreme level of impropriety.
