Uraffiné

Uraffiné is a term of French origin that translates to "unrefined" or "uncouth" in English. It describes a person or thing that lacks sophistication, polish, or good manners. The term can be applied to various aspects of behavior, appearance, or even taste.

In the context of people, an uraffiné individual might be perceived as someone who is blunt, socially awkward, or exhibits poor etiquette. This could manifest in their speech, dress, or interactions with others. The perception of being uraffiné is often subjective and can vary depending on cultural norms and individual expectations.

The term can also describe objects or processes that are not processed or finished to a high standard. For example, unrefined sugar is less processed than granulated sugar and retains more of its natural molasses. Similarly, unrefined materials in art or design might be chosen for their raw or natural aesthetic. The opposite of uraffiné is often considered "raffiné," meaning refined or sophisticated.
