'judgmental' originates from the English word 'judgment,' which comes from the Old French 'jugement,' derived from the Latin 'judicium,' where 'judex' meant 'judge.'

'judicium' transformed into the Old French word 'jugement,' and eventually became the modern English word 'judgment' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'the act of judging,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'having a critical point of view.'
