Pejoratives (or terms of abuse) are words or grammatical forms that connote negativity and express contempt or distaste. Sometimes a term may begin as a pejorative word and eventually be adopted in a non-pejorative sense. In
historical linguistics, this phenomenon is known as melioration, or amelioration, or
semantic change (e.g., "
punk"). Within some social groups, a particular term is still regarded as being a pejorative, whereas the term is not deemed as such within another social group elsewhere (e.g., "
hacker").
