Word origin

The word 'busty' is derived from the noun 'bust', which refers to the chest or the upper front of a human, especially in relation to a woman's breasts. The term 'bust' itself originated around the 19th century from the French word 'buste', meaning 'statue of the upper part of the human figure'. The transition to the modern English usage imbued it with a sense of physicality and shape, particularly emphasizing size in women. By the early 20th century, 'busty' began to emerge in popular vernacular, becoming commonly associated with physical attractiveness and femininity. Over the decades, its usage has fluctuated with changing beauty standards and social norms, often appearing in fashion and lifestyle contexts.
