Standard kanji spelling; the first character 猥 is not a Jōyō kanji, so the word may be written in kana in some contexts.
Compound of 猥 (vulgar, indecent) and 雑 (miscellaneous, mixed). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the combination suggests a mixture of low or crude elements, leading to the senses of vulgarity and disorder.
