What Does` Bastard `mean?

The true meaning of bastard is that of a child who is born out of wedlock. This basically means if the two parents of the child were not married when the child was born then he or she is classed as a 'bastard' or a 'bastard child'.

However, the use of the word bastard has changed over time, and it is now most commonly used as a general derogatory word to describe someone they are not fond of or to use as a way of swearing. It is sometimes used in conjunction with another insulting word such as 'fat bastard' or 'miserable bastard'.

Although the original meaning of bastard is of a child born out of wedlock, it really wouldn't be acceptable to go round and call children whose parents aren't married bastards. Therefore it has almost lost its original meaning all together and now simply takes on the form of a rather generic insult or swear word.

If you are ever unsure of what a word actually means or want to see examples of when a certain word would be used then heading for a dictionary or encyclopedia is always worth doing. If you don't own either of these then you can now get digital versions online for free. You can go to websites such as dictionary.com or wikipedia.com and put in the word you wish to know about in the search box.

As they say 'knowledge is power' so never be afraid to ask about something and to be curious; it is certainly a great attribute in a person.
