This was not the case from the beginning, as the earliest records mention that this word was used to refer to dirt or stain. The meaning has since changed and its previous meaning is mostly forgotten.

In the 19th century, The word ''Smut'' had taken on a different meaning, and since then, it has been used to refer to indecent or obscene material. During those times, smut was considered a scandalous and taboo subject. Due to this, many authors faced censorship. One notable mention is Fanny Hill (1748) by John Cleland.
