Word Origin & History
pristine
1534, "pertaining to the earliest period, primitive, ancient," from M.Fr. pristin (fem. pristine), from L. pristinus "former," from Old L. pri "before." Meaning "unspoiled, untouched, pure" is from 1899 (implied in pristinely) but still regarded as ignorant in some circles.
