The term "litter" as it relates to waste or refuse likely originated from the Middle English word "litters," which referred to a bed or bedding. The modern usage of "litter" to describe trash or refuse scattered about can be traced back to the 19th century. While no single person is credited with inventing the term, its evolution reflects changing attitudes toward waste and environmental cleanliness.
