Etymology
Crassitude comes from the old Latin word crassus, meaning 'thick' or 'dull', and is from the same root as the English word crass. Picture something thick and heavy that does not notice small feelings—this helps you remember that crassitude is the quality of being crude, coarse, or lacking sensitivity.
