Etymology

The term 'stiletto' originally comes from the Italian word 'stiletto,' which means 'dagger.' The design of the stiletto heel, which resembles the blade of a dagger, emerged in the 1930s. The dramatic height and slender shape of the heel were popularized by various fashion designers over the decades, notably through their association with glamour and high fashion. The word 'stilettoed' evolved as a descriptor for anything related to this specific style of shoe, emphasizing both the height and the often pointed nature of the heel. Over time, stilettoed shoes have become a symbol of femininity, sophistication, and sometimes even power, particularly in workplace settings. This association has been reinforced by popular culture, films, and celebrity fashion, cementing the stiletto in the realm of style.
