Etymology

The term 'chiseled' originates from the verb 'chisel,' which refers to the act of shaping materials, often stone or wood, using a tool called a chisel. The verb comes from the Old French word 'cisel,' which meant 'to carve' or 'to cut.' The process of chiseling involves precise and deliberate cuts to create defined borders and shapes, which eventually led to the metaphorical use of the term 'chiseled' in the context of describing human features. The notion of something being chiselled implies not just physical shape but often an element of artistry, reflecting the skill involved in both sculpting and physical fitness. Over time, 'chiseled' has become a popular descriptor in fitness and beauty industries to evoke images of not just strength but aesthetic appeal, highlighting a harmonious blend of form and function.
