Etymology

The word 'sinewy' comes from the Old English 'siniw,' which means 'tendon or sinew.' It reflects the physical characteristics associated with sinews, which are bands of tissue that connect muscles to bones and transmit force. The word evolved through Middle English, retaining its associations with strength and firmness. As the language progressed, 'sinewy' began to be used metaphorically to describe not just physical attributes but also qualities such as stamina, determination, and resilience. The superlative form 'sinewiest' emerged to bestow the highest degree of these attributes, emphasizing the most remarkable examples of strength or muscularity. This evolution illustrates the richness of the English language in drawing connections between physical and metaphorical strength.
