Definition of naughtiness

naughtinessnoun

khó chịu

/ˈnɔːtinəs//ˈnɔːtinəs/

The word "naughtiness" stems from the Old English word "nāwiht," meaning "nothing" or "not at all." This evolved into "naught," which signified "nothing" or "worthless." The "ness" suffix, indicating a state or quality, was added to "naught," creating "naughtiness." Therefore, "naughtiness" originally signified a state of being "nothing" or "worthless," and later evolved to describe a state of being mischievous or disobedient.
