Nguồn gốc từ

ine-pro From Middle English asprete, asperite, from Old French aspreté (modern âpreté), from Latin asperitātem, the accusative singular of asperitās, from asper (probably from Proto-Indo-European *h₂esp- (to cut)) + -itās (a variant of -tās). The spelling of the English word is influenced directly by asperitātem. asperitas.
