Meaning and Origin:
"Refinement" comes from the Latin verb "raffinare," which means "to make pure." This verb is derived from the noun "raffinatio," which refers to the process of refining or purifying something. The ultimate origin of the word is the Proto-Indo-European root bʰer-, which means "to bubble up."
The term "refinement" has been used in English since the 14th century to describe the process of making something more pure, delicate, or sophisticated. It can refer to the purification of a substance, the improvement of a literary or artistic work, or the cultivation of good manners or taste.
