Origin

Late Middle English (also in the sense 'extravagant, going beyond acceptable limits'): from Latin insolent- 'immoderate, unaccustomed, arrogant', from in- 'not' + solent- 'being accustomed' (from the verb solere).

Early uses included the sense ‘extravagant, going beyond acceptable limits’. Insolent comes from Latin insolent- meaning ‘immoderate, unaccustomed, arrogant’ formed from solere ‘be accustomed’.
