    I’m a word nerd so I love etymology, and legit benighted is a cool ass word actually, from etymyonline:

    benighted(adj.)

    1570s, “overtaken by darkness,” past-participle adjective from obsolete verb benight (q.v.). Little used in the literal sense, usually it means “in intellectual or moral darkness” (1630s).
