primitive meaning
When we talk about "primitive man", we're usually
talking about cavemen and other people who existed before the advent of table
manners, but if your uncle speaks grunts and chews with his mouth open, you
could describe him as primitive too.
Primitive is related to the word prime, and the root
of both words is primus, which is Latin for "first." Since the
phrase "primitive man" refers to the world's first people, you might
think that the word primate has something to do with the similarity
between early humans and monkeys, but it doesn't. Monkey, apes, and humans are
called primates because they're seen as standing on the first, or highest, rung
of the animal-kingdom ladder.
