Etymology

The word 'sturdy' has its roots in Middle English, derived from the Old French 'estourdi', which means 'stunned' or 'dull', and is possibly connected to the Latin 'stupidus', meaning 'stupid' or 'dull'. Over time, the meaning evolved to refer more to strength and solidity, indicating a physical quality rather than an intellectual one. The comparative form 'sturdier' emerged as a way to express greater levels of resilience or robustness when comparing two or more objects or entities. This evolution reflects a linguistic shift in how strength and durability are perceived in the English language, leading to a more nuanced understanding of the attributes associated with materials and design.
