Origin:
The term "miscegenation" first appeared in the late 19th century, as a translation of the French word miscégenation. The French term was coined in the 18th century by the naturalist Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon, to refer to the interbreeding of different species of animals.
The term was later adopted by anthropologists and sociologists to refer to interbreeding between people from different races or ethnic groups. In the United States, the term was used to justify anti-miscegenation laws, which prohibited interracial marriage and relationships. These laws were eventually overturned by the Supreme Court in the 1967 case of Loving v. Virginia.
