Etymology

The term 'boxer' originated in the late 18th century, derived from the noun 'box' (meaning a blow with the fist) with the addition of the suffix '-er' to denote a person who engages in the activity of boxing. Over time, the word 'boxer' expanded to refer to both the sportsperson and the dog breed known for its physical agility and strength. The use of 'boxer' to describe a container likely evolved from the idea of something that encloses or protects its contents, similar to how a boxer defends themselves in a match.

See also: box, boxed, boxers, boxes, boxing, unbox.
