Best Answer

The term freckle originated from an outcast of a royal kingdom in eastern Scotland. This "outcast" of social activity scared the people of the kingdom because of his strange behaviors so the people called him a freak. This with the amount of speckles over his body made the combination of freak and speckles which formed the term freckle. freak + speckle = freckle
