What’s the origin of nice?

Nice, it turns out, began as a negative term derived from the Latin nescius, meaning “unaware, ignorant.” This sense of “ignorant” was carried over into English when the word was first borrowed (via French) in the early 1300s. And for almost a century, nice was used to characterize a “stupid, ignorant, or foolish” person.

Starting in the late 1300s, nice began to refer to “conduct, a person, or clothing that was considered excessively luxurious or lascivious.” However, by the 1400s a new, more neutral sense of nice was emerging. At this time, nice began to refer to “a person who was finely dressed, someone who was scrupulous, or something that was precise or fussy.”

By the late 1500s, nice was further softening, describing something as “refined, culture,” especially used of polite society.

The high value placed on being coy, delicate, and reserved was instrumental in the semantic amelioration of the term nice in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

Jane Austen, for instance, mocked this now-positive term in Northanger Abbey (1817) when Henry Tilney teases the naive Catherine Morland for her overuse of nice. He jokes: “… and this is a very nice day, and we are taking a very nice walk, and you are two very nice young ladies. Oh, it is a very nice word, indeed!—it does for everything.”

What’s the origin of the phrase nice guy?

Over 200 years later, nice still “does (the job) for everything.” It’s a catch-all word for someone or something “pleasant” or “agreeable.”

But, in the popular dating culture, the nice guy has become anything but. In fact, it seems nice, harkening back to its root, is becoming a not-so-nice word again. As found on internet forums as early as the 1980s, romantically unsuccessful men have identified as the niceguy, always losing out to their nemesis: the bad boy.

This dating nice guy apparently draws on earlier constructions of nice guy. Predated by nice fellow in the 1800s, the phrase nice guy is found in the written record in the early 1900s.

The expression nice guys finish last—agreeable people who get overpowered by their more assertive counterparts—is credited to Brooklyn Dodgers manager Leo Durocher in 1946.Nice guy also makes an appearance in no more Mr. Nice Guy, said when someone is throwing down—and implying nice guys are soft and weak. Alice Cooper rocked the saying in his 1973 track “No More Mr. Nice Guy.” A reporter memorably asked it of Richard Nixon about the Vietnam War in 1977.

The language of a nice guy

You’ve likely heard—or maybe even used—the expression he’s a nice guy, but … People may use this phrase as a polite way to decline a potential male partner, whether because they aren’t interested in him or personally don’t find him attractive in some way.

In the 2000s on some feminist spaces on the internet, nice guy started to more specifically refer to an insecure man who expects his kindness to be rewarded with sex. At least that’s in part how the website Heartless Bitches International saw it in their noted 2002 denunciation against the nice guy. This piece helped influence Nice Guy™ and Nice Guy Syndrome, terms for men who think being nice alone entitles them sex.

In current usage, it’s not uncommon to see some so-called nice guys throwing around the term friend-zone. A person (usually a guy) can be put in the friend-zone or be friend-zoned when someone he is interested in dating views him as just a friend. While friend-zone can be used in a neutral way, it is often used in an entitled way to question why a person always chooses the “nice guy” last.

Does this mean no more Mr. Nice Guy?

Of course, the term nice guy can still be used non-ironically to refer to a genuinely nice dude, e.g., “Your dad is such a nice guy!” However, it’s important to keep tone in mind as you come across the term nice guy on the internet, especially if it appears in quotes.

As a 2012 piece in Jezebel reminds us: “… rule number one of being a real nice guy is that you never, ever refer to yourself as a ‘nice guy.’”

History of nice:

Nice is a highly polysemous word. A polysemous word has more than one meaning.

Origin: Ne- (not) + scire (know, same root as ‘science’) -> nescire (not know) -> nescius (ignorant) -> nice (careless, clumsy, stupid — late 13c). In 14th century, its meaning was foolish, ignorant and stupid —> semantic change (amelioration) —> fastidious (late 14c) -> precise, careful (1500’s) -> agreeable, delightful (1769) -> kind, thoughtful (1830’s) -> pleasant, agreeable and then respectable (19c) -> pleasant and other positive meanings (20c onwards).

Nice and another English word nescience (meaning: ignorant) have the same origin (nescire).

Brief answer:

It was borrowed from French, meaning silly and stupid. Years later, nice meant dissolute or extravagant in dress and fashionable. From there, the word went on to mean finely dressed or precise about looks. And then, precise about looks changed to precise about reputation.
As time went on, ‘nice’ meant something like to have a refined taste. From here, the positive connotations continued with the idea of being cultured, respectable and agreeable.

Finally, after this perplexing history, ‘nice’ remains a term of approval today. We use it all the time to compliment people.

It entered Modern English through Old French and Middle English from Latin so its meaning has changed over time. This is because of semantic change.

---

Explanation:

From Merriam Webster:

It is a bit difficult to say with much certainty what the earliest meaning of nice was in Modern English, since by the end of the 14th century there were already a number of different senses of the word — [M-W]

Some other meanings of ‘nice’:

• ‘Nice’ has meant ‘tarty’:

Sometimes it went further than this pejorative sense — it had the sense of the modern British slang ‘tarty’, or ‘[appropriate to] a woman of promiscuous sexual behaviour’.) — [AWE]

• ‘Nice’ has meant ‘fastidious’ (around 1500):

Its second main meaning was that of ‘precise’ or ‘fastidious’ — [AWE]

• ‘Nice’ has meant ‘dissolute’:

May we not this day read our sin in our punishment? O what nice and wanton appetites, what curious and itching ears, had thy people in the dayes of plenty? — John Flavel, Husbandry Spiritualized, 1674 — [M-W]

• ‘Nice’ has meant ‘chaste’:

“But Reddy Wheeler knew Daisy. We were properly introduced. It was quite all right!”
“Yes, but nice girls don’t do this sort of thing, you know—unchaperoned, and so late at night, and all that.” — Fred Jackson, “Young Blood,” Munsey’s Magazine, 1917 — [M-W]

‘Nice’ has meant ‘finicky’:

By the 16th century, the sense of being «very particular» or «finicky» had developed — [Word Central]

---

Why did the meaning of ‘nice’ change:

The meaning of nice changed because of a common phenomenon called Semantic change.

Semantic change

In semantics and historical linguistics, semantic change refers to any change in the meaning(s) of a word over the course of time. Also called semantic shift, lexical change, and semantic progression. Common types of semantic change include amelioration, pejoration, broadening, semantic narrowing, bleaching, metaphor, and metonymy.

1. Amelioration:

When a word with negative meaning develops a positive meaning, the process is called ‘amelioration’.

The literal meaning of ameliorate is to make something unpleasant better.

Example: The best example of amelioration is ‘nice’.
‘Nice’ had negative meanings (ignorant, stupid and silly in 14th century), now it’s used in positive sense (pleasant, excellent, admirable etc).

The opposite of amelioration is pejoration

2. Pejoration:

When a word with positive meaning develops a negative meaning, the process is called ‘pejoration’.

The literal meaning of pejorate is to make something worse.

Example:

A very common example of pejoration is the word ‘gay’.

‘Gay’ originally meant lighthearted and joyous in 13th century. In 14th century, its meaning was bright and showy. It acquired negative connotations (immorality) around 1637. Presently, it’s used to mean homosexual. See how it developed negative meaning. It’s called pejoration.

“National Institute of Clinical Excellence” is the most common definition for NICE on Snapchat, WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok.

Though ‘nice’ is used to mean “pleasant,” it historically meant “wanton or dissolute.” The word’s other meanings include both “appropriate” and “inappropriate”—and in “Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch,” authors Gaiman & Pratchett note that ‘nice’ can also mean “exact.”

Why is nice a bad word?

Well, we recently found out nice used to be a negative—derived from the Latin word nescius meaning “ignorant.” And, in the 14th century, it was used to refer to a stupid, ignorant, or foolish person. Ok, so you really didn’t want to be the nice guy back then.

What does it mean when someone responds with nice?

Nice is a form of thinly veiled sarcasm. If I’m very excited about something, excited enough to tell someone, and I receive “Nice” at the end, I’m immediately trying to find the nearest window to jump out of due to embarrassment. Perhaps my most hated text message is one I don’t want to receive.

Does nice mean good?

Nice is an act of kindness. Good is an act of valor. Nice is something polite. Good is something real.

When a girl uses the word nice?

When a woman calls a guy “nice,” she doesn’t mean he’s kind or cool or good: she means he’s not doing it for her. (For a pair of words responsible for so many break-ups, you have to admit, “nice” and “but” are remarkably committed.)

Where do we use nice?

If you say that it is nice of someone to say or do something, you are saying that they are being kind and thoughtful. This is often used as a way of thanking someone. This has been so nice, so terribly kind of you. If you say that someone is nice, you mean that you like them because they are friendly and pleasant.

Is it bad to be nice?

It actually is a desirable human trait. However, some people (for various reasons) are overly nice; they will be at the beck and call of everyone, put up with abuse and disrespect, and always put their well-being aside for others. Being overly nice has tremendous and long-lasting negative effects.

What is the reply of so nice of you?

“Thank you” is the only one that is possible, in my opinion. “You don’t say (it)” sounds rude. (I am not sure why ‘it’ is there), and “It doesn’t matter” sounds as if you don’t care what the other person thinks. “Thank you” isn’t what I would say, but it’s the only one that would work.

How do you respond to a nice picture?

I think the best response is a simple “Thank you.” If you have better photos than the ones they’re complimenting, you might even say, “Thanks – I’d love to show you some of my better work too.” But always be thankful for the compliment even if you don’t feel the work is as good as they think it is.

Who is a nice person?

Nice people are honest with themselves and others without lacking kindness. They tell the truth in at all times without hurting other people’s feelings. Telling lies, on the other hand, is not something nice people do because deceit and dishonesty damage relationships.
