Etymology

The word 'shoulder' originates from the Old English 'sculdor', which can be traced back to Germanic roots. Its usage has evolved through the centuries, retaining the core meaning related to the part of the body that supports the arms and bears weight. The term 'shouldering' emerged as a natural extension of this concept, combining the physical act of using the shoulder with the metaphorical notion of taking on responsibilities. The evolution of language reflects how we use our bodies as symbols for emotional and social concepts, leading to phrases like 'shouldering a burden' in contemporary discourse.
