Origin

Late Middle English (in the sense 'immodest, indelicate'): from Latin impudent-, from in- 'not' + pudent- 'ashamed, modest' (from pudere 'be ashamed').

In the Middle Ages people who were impudent were lacking in shame or modesty rather than presumptuous or cheeky, for it comes from the Latin pudere ‘to be ashamed’. The modern sense developed in the mid 16th century.
