Word origin

The term 'gigolo' originates from the French word 'gigolo', which initially referred to a male dancer or a young servant. The word became widely used in the early 20th century, particularly in the context of male companions who catered to wealthier women. Over time, the connotation shifted, and gigolos became associated more with escort services, often implying sexual relationships for financial gain. The evolution of the term reflects societal attitudes towards relationships, gender roles, and the commodification of companionship. In modern times, gigolos are depicted in various forms of media, sometimes glamorizing the lifestyle, while at other times criticizing it for its transactional nature. The depiction of gigolos ranges from romanticized figures in movies to stark portrayals of loneliness and emotional detachment.
