Mundane

mundane
- c.1451, from M.Fr. mondain, from L. mundanus "belonging to the world" (as distinct from the Church), from mundus "universe, world," lit. "clean, elegant" (used of women's dress, etc.); taken for "world" by Roman writers as an imitation of Gk. khosmos "world," lit. "order, orderly arrangement."
