licentious, adjective.
Disregarding accepted rules especially of grammar or style (rare); lascivious /ləˈsɪvɪəs/, libertine, lewd /luːd/. Hence licentiousness.
In a sentence: “Now the works of
the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness…” (Galatians
5:19)
The bible uses
this one a few times. It means hedonistic behavior. It comes from the Latin
word licentia (license, freedom). You might say being licentious means you give
yourself the license to do certain things.
