Etymology

It became more frequent in written Latvian with the works of G. F. Stenders in the late 18th century, especially his dictionary, in which 🇨🇬 was translated as, and in which was no longer translated as “bad,” “useless”. Stenders also coined the terms, , and  (but curiously not , which appeared only in the 19th century).
