Etymology
The word 'bumper' originated in the early 17th century, derived from the Middle English 'bumper' which referred to a large glass used for drinking. It evolved in later centuries to describe a part of a vehicle designed to absorb shock during a bump or collision. The verb form 'bumpering' developed as car culture grew, particularly in the 20th century with the rise of automobiles. It highlights the informal nature of minor vehicle collisions, often experienced in everyday driving scenarios.
