Etymology

The word 'flesh' originates from the Old English 'flรฆsc', meaning the soft tissue of the body. This term has Germanic roots, tracing back to Proto-Germanic '*flaiska', which also refers to meat or soft tissue. Historically, 'flesh' has been used to distinguish the living, physically tangible parts of an organism from bones and organs. The verb form 'to flesh out' began to appear in the English language around the 18th century, reflecting the expansion of ideas in literature and art. This transformation indicates a shift from a purely anatomical definition to a more metaphorical one, where 'fleshing out' signifies giving life, detail, and depth to ideas, narratives, or representations.
