Brit.

/ˌmaləˈpəːt/,

/ˈmaləpəːt/, U.S.

/ˈˌmæləˈˌpərt/

Forms: Middle English maleapert, Middle English male-apert, Middle English male-aperte, Middle English maleperte, Middle English–1500s malaperte, Middle English–1600s malapart, Middle English–1700s malepert, Middle English– malapert, 1500s malepeirt, 1500s mallaparte, 1500s maloperte, 1500s maltaperte, 1500s–1600s malepart, 1500s–1600s malipart, 1500s–1600s malipert, 1500s–1600s mallapert, 1500s–1600s mallepart, 1600s mala part, 1600s maleparte, 1600s mallipart, 1600s mallypart; Scottish pre-1700 malapart, pre-1700 mal-apert, pre-1700 malapertt, pre-1700 malepairte, pre-1700 malepart, pre-1700 maleperte, pre-1700 mallapert, pre-1700 mal-pairt, pre-1700 1700s– malapert.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: mal- prefix, apert adj.

Etymology: < mal- prefix + apert adj., the sense perhaps being ‘improperly insolent’ (see apert adj. 5). However, compare Middle French malappert , used by E. Deschamps (c1346–1406) as the opposite of appert in the sense ‘expert’ (see apert adj. 4 and etymological note at that entry): it has been suggested that the English word might result from a similar sense development (compare maladroit adj. and malcontent n.¹ and adj. for the Old French and Middle French use of mal- to reverse the favourable sense of an adjective).Palsgrave (1530) gives Middle French malapert as a translation of ‘Homely saucy to perte’, but this use of the French word may be affected by English usage.

Now archaic.
