Origin and Evolution of boob

First Known Use: 1601 year

Language of Origin: Latin

Story behind the word: The word 'boob' is believed to have originated from the Latin word 'pupa' which means 'girl' or 'doll'. It then evolved into the Middle English word 'bobe' which referred to a bird's beak or a woman's breast.

Evolution of the word: Over time, the word 'boob' shifted in meaning from a bird's beak to a woman's breast, and eventually became a slang term for breasts in general. It is now commonly used in informal language to refer to breasts.
