Usage notes
The word notorious originally had a neutral or positive connotation (sharing a Latin root with the words and ) but is now usually associated with negative characteristics. The word is still used to describe positive characteristics (“a notorious perfectionist” or “notorious for his generosity”) but this use is now considered playful or ironic as a result of the word’s negative connotations.
