Etymology
The word 'beefy' originally comes from the noun 'beef', which is derived from the Old French word 'boef', meaning 'ox' or 'beef'. The usage of 'beefy' developed in the late 19th century as a slang term to describe a person who is stout or corpulent, having a physique reminiscent of the solidity and richness associated with beef. Over time, the term evolved and became associated more with muscularity and physical strength rather than just size. The comparative form 'beefier' emerged to describe someone who is more 'beefy', enhancing the idea of strength and robustness. In modern usage, 'beefier' is often used in contexts involving fitness, bodybuilding, or even in informal conversations about someone's physical presence.
