Word origin

The word 'jutted' is derived from the Middle English word 'jutted', which originated from the verb 'jut', meaning to extend outwards. The term became more commonly used in the 15th century, evolving from the Old French word 'jouter', which means to project or to thrust. Jutting describes a very distinct and notable form of extension that has been used to characterize various geographical formations as well as architectural features. Over centuries, it has found a place in both literature and everyday language, often denoting a sense of abruptness in protrusion. The use of 'jutted' has expanded beyond physical descriptions to encompass metaphorical uses in literature, describing aspects that stand out or are particularly noticeable.
