Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the German word 'kitsche', meaning 'to make cheap art', originating in the art markets of Munich in the 1860s and 1870s to describe cheap, popular, and marketable pictures and sketches. Over time, the term evolved internationally to denote art, objects, or design considered to be in poor taste because of excessive prettiness or sentimentality, much like the Portuguese term 'brega'.
