Origins & Definition of pedestrian street

Badaud was in usage from the 16th century, if not earlier, a French adaptation of the old Provenal "badau". From the beginning the term described frivolous curiosity and ignorance. The Grand dictionnaire universel du XIXe sicle (1867) defined the term in this way: "The badaud is curious; he is astonished by everything he sees; he believes everything he hears, and he shows his contentment or his surprise by his open, gaping mouth.

" The term came frequently to describe the crowds that gathered in the street at any remarkable sight. From the 17th century and after, the term was associated with Parisians. It is most frequently rendered in English as "gawker" or "bystander".
