Etymology
The term 'girt' has Old English origins, derived from the word 'gyrdan', which means 'to gird, to bind.' This word comes from the Proto-Germanic *gurdō, reflecting a long-standing tradition of encircling or fastening various types of garments and equipment. Historically, girding involved the use of belts or sashes to provide support or decoration, often seen in various cultures. Over time, the noun form 'girting' evolved to describe the action of girding, encompassing both practical applications in clothing and more abstract usages in metaphorical contexts. The use of 'girt' can be traced back to many ancient texts and literary references, emphasizing its sustained relevance throughout history.
