- 1粗糙的；(言語)粗俗的
Coarse describes something rough in texture, not smooth or fine — like coarse sand, coarse hair, or coarse fabric. It can also describe language or behavior that is rude, crude, or lacking good manners, like "coarse jokes."
From the word’s history
Adjectival use of course, spelled apart in the 18th century; sense went from 'usual, ordinary' to 'unrefined', and 'not fine' from cloth.
原是 course 當形容詞用，18 世紀才拼成 coarse。
