⌂Word origin and word building

From the Latin for 'standing out from the flock' (grex, flock, as in gregarious); it once meant remarkably good, but now means remarkably bad.

Latin में 'झुंड से अलग खड़ा' से (grex, झुंड, gregarious की तरह); कभी इसका अर्थ 'उल्लेखनीय रूप से अच्छा' था, अब 'उल्लेखनीय रूप से बुरा' है।
