Etymology

The word 'shinnying' is derived from the verb 'shin', which originates from the Old English word 'scinna', meaning 'to climb' or 'to shin up'. The transformation into the current form reflects the natural evolution of language, as it was used to describe the action of shinning up a pole or tree. This term was particularly common in the 19th century and is often found in American vernacular. As the practice of climbing for sport and play became more popular, 'shinnying' gained traction in informal usage, especially among children and in outdoor contexts. Over time, it has retained its colloquial charm, while appearing less in formal writings.
