Etymology

The term 'chiselled' comes from the verb 'chisel,' which has its roots in the late Middle English word 'chisel' derived from the Old French 'cisel' meaning 'to cut'. The original concept involved the use of tools to carve or shape materials, particularly stone or wood. The metaphorical application to describe a person's features emerged as societal standards of beauty evolved, connecting artistry in sculpture to human aesthetics. By the 19th century, 'chiselled' was commonly used in English literature to portray individuals with well-defined facial features, akin to a finely crafted sculpture. This aesthetic appreciation correlates with cultural ideals of masculinity and fitness, framing the term within the realms of both art and human form.
