Etymology
The word 'strut' originates from the Middle English term 'strutten', which meant 'to walk with confidence' or 'to walk in a stiff or proud manner'. The Old English word 'styrtan', meaning 'to jump' or 'to spring', is also an ancestor of this term. The influence of these earlier terms reflects the idea of a distinctive and vigorous way of moving. Over time, 'strut' evolved to encompass the current sense of walking in a manner intended to impress others. Its usage in the 20th century further expanded as it became associated with the confident and sometimes ostentatious behavior seen in both fashion and performance contexts.
