Under the Lens: Egregious Etymology

Egregious is from the Latin root grex, gregis (herd, flock).

The prefix e- means ‘out’ and so etymologically egregious had the positive connotation of ‘standing out from the flock’.

The negative meaning arose in the late 16th century, probably originating in sarcasm. Now egregious always means outstandingly bad.

Another word from the same root is gregarious. Gregarious is used to describe someone who likes to be in a herd or is fond of the company of others, i.e., sociable.
