The term “demimonde” refers to a social world that exists on the fringes of respectability, often characterized by a group of people who live outside the conventional norms of society. It can denote a subculture associated with artists, performers, or individuals involved in activities considered disreputable, such as prostitution or bohemian lifestyles. The word is derived from the French “demi” meaning “half,” and “monde” meaning “world,” implying a half-world or a world that is somewhat removed from mainstream society.
