♞♘_”what does ‘medieval’ mean?”_♘♞

(from latin “medium aevum” –> “middle ages”)

(the phrase has its origins in the 1800s)

(first used by scholars to refer to period between the fall of the ‘western roman empire’ to the beginning of the (italian) ‘renaissance’)

in my lifetime i have heard it used as an insinuation of ‘physical assault’:

“i’m gonna go medieval on yo ‘ ass!”
(arv: “ima whoop yo’ ass!”)

(or to describe some “hopelessly antiquated” ‘train of thought’ / ‘process’ / etc)
