Etymology of MISBECOMING

The word "misbecoming" is derived from the Middle English word "misbicom" or "misbicomynge", which originated in the 14th century. It combines the prefix "mis-" meaning "badly" or "ill" with the verb "become", which in its earlier form meant "to be fitting or appropriate". Thus, "misbecoming" originally described something that was not fitting or appropriate. Over time, its usage evolved to describe something that was unflattering, unattractive, or improper in appearance or behavior.
