Etymology

The adjective 'jacked' in the context of physical appearance originated in the 1990s and became popular within the bodybuilding and fitness communities. It is believed to be a derivative of the term 'jack,' which in various contexts has been associated with strength and vigor. Over time, the word evolved and found its way into mainstream slang to describe individuals who exhibit significant muscle mass and definition. Conversely, the verb usage of 'jacked' pertaining to theft likely traces its roots back to earlier street slang, illustrating acts of theft or robbery. This duality of meaning showcases how slang can adapt and grow, morphing to fit the context of contemporary culture.
