>Shameless or brazen boldness
>Insolent and shameless audacity
>Extreme rudeness without any ability to understand that your behaviour is not acceptable to other people
To the Romans, the shameless were “without forehead,” at least figuratively. Effrontery derives from Latin effrons, a word that combines the prefix ex- (meaning “out” or “without”) and “frons” (meaning “forehead” or “brow”).
