Etymology : The original reprobates were hardened sinners who had fallen from God's grace. In time, their name was used outside of religious contexts for any person who behaves in a morally wrong way. In Late Latin, reprobare means "to disapprove" or "to condemn." The word is from the Middle English from Late Latin reprobatus, past participle of reprobare. The first use as a noun was in 1592 but its first use as an adjective and a verb was in the 15th century.
