Etymology
The word 'humped' originates from the Old English 'humppa', which is related to the Middle Dutch 'hump', meaning a rounded lump or a protuberance. Historically, it has been used to describe various physical forms that are elevated or rounded, particularly in animals. Over centuries, the term has remained in the English vocabulary, evolving in usage and context, often associated with camels or similar creatures that display a noticeable hump. The adaptation of the term in modern English retains its emphasis on the visual aspect of a raised, rounded shape, making it applicable in both animal anatomy and various descriptive contexts.
