Etymology of RAUNCH
The word "raunch" has a somewhat uncertain etymology, as it emerged as slang in American English during the 20th century. It is believed to be derived from an earlier term "ranchy" which meant "nasty" or "stale" in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) during the 1930s. "Ranchy" itself may have originated from the word "rancid" or from the word "rank" in the sense of something foul or putrid. Over time, "ranchy" evolved into "raunch" with a similar meaning, referring to something vulgar, obscene, or sexually explicit. However, it should be noted that the exact origin and development of the word "raunch" remains somewhat speculative.
