History

The word nice entered Middle English in the sense ‘stupid’, from Latin nescius, meaning ‘ignorant’. It developed a range of senses, from ‘wanton and dissolute’ to ‘strange or rare’ and ‘coy or reserved’. It was first used with a positive connotation in the sense ‘fine or subtle’ in the 16th century, and the current main meanings, senses 1 and 2, are recorded from the late 18th century.
