Etymology
The term 'shinned' is derived from the word 'shin,' which refers to the front part of the leg, below the knee. The etymology of 'shin' can be traced back to the Old English word 'scinnan,' which means 'to shine' or 'to be bright,' possibly referring to the shin bone's prominence in the body's outline. As the English language evolved, the term took a more specific meaning associated with the physical structure of the leg. The verb 'to shin' as a slang expression meaning to strike one's shin gained usage in the 19th century, especially in contexts involving sports, where incidental contact with hard surfaces often leads to injuries.
