Words Origin: Villain.

So I came across a few words that is not that it means. What now and in the origin meaning is so way off different. I guess, I will post one word in a few days.

So the word today would be:

Villain:-

What it means now: “A person guilty or capable of a crime or wickedness.”
What it used to mean: A farm worker

Everybody, especially Batman, Superman, Iron man, etc... is familiar with the word villains. A big thanks to over half a century of movies, we all know that the word villain means bad guy. Back in the 14th century though, villains were the backbone of agriculture. That is to say, they were the people who worked on farms. The word villain is actually an old French word that pulls its roots from the word “villa” Latin for country house.Over time, the meaning of the word gradually changed: Farm workers were poor, practically peasants. Peasants, being poor, are untrustworthy. Untrustworthy people commit crimes. And eventually we ended up with the modern day definition of villain, which becomes a rich person who gets killed by James Bond.
