Tidbit from Merriam-Webster: βMeretricious can be traced back to the Latin verb merere, meaning βto earn, gain, or deserve.β It shares this origin with a small group of other English words, including βmerit, meritorious, and emeritus.β But, while these words can suggest some degree of honor or esteem, βmeretriciousβ is used to suggest pretense, insincerity, and cheap or tawdry ornamentation.β
