The word laity means "common people" and comes from the Greek: λαϊκός, romanized: laikos, meaning "of the people", from λαός, laos, meaning "people" at large. [7] [8] The word lay (part of layperson, etc.) derives from the Greek word via Anglo-French lai, from Late Latin laicus.
The term derives from the 16th-century idiom "in plain English", meaning "in clear, straightforward language" [2] as well as the Latin planus ("flat"). Another name for the term, layman's terms, is derived from the idiom "in layman's terms" which refers to language phrased simply enough that a layman, or common person without expertise on the subject, can understand.
