Etymology
The term 'stag' originates from Middle English, where it referred to a male deer. Over time, the word evolved to describe a social outing attended by males alone, usually without female partners. The practice of 'stagging' likely comes from traditional male bonding activities which have taken place for centuries, leading to events such as stag parties or stag nights. These gatherings often mark significant life changes, such as marriages, where the groom spends time with friends before the wedding. Thus, the word has developed cultural significance in various regions, particularly in the context of celebrations where males are expected to socialize without female companionship.
