MODERATORS
Yes, but its use to mean its opposite didn't become widespread until the past decade or so.
People have been complaining about it longer than a decade, so you're way off there.

Tldr: common use in the "figurative" sense for since the 1800s.
Incorrect. People have been using it the way you are complaining about for hundreds of years. It’s a new phenomenon that people complain about it being used the way you disapprove of. I’d attribute the recent complaints to lack of literary exposure and anti intellectualism in recent years.
