"无耻、厚颜无耻、超越端庄和得体的界限的大胆行为",1715年,来自法语 effronterie,源自 effronté "无耻的",源自古法语 esfronte "无耻的,厚颜无耻的",可能来自拉丁语 effrontem(主格 effrons)"赤裸的,无耻的",来自拉丁语 ex "出"(参见 ex-)和 frontem(主格 frons)"额头"(参见 front(n.))。还可参见 affront。
拉丁语 frontus 有"会脸红的能力"的意思,但 effrontery 的字面意思常被认为是"向前伸出额头"。约翰逊词典(1755年)中的 Forehead 有"厚颜无耻; 信心; 保证; 大胆; 鲁莽"的次要意义。英语早期有一个动词 effront "用厚颜无耻的方式对待"(17世纪)。
