Etymology
The word 'thew' has its origins in Old English 'รพฤaw' meaning 'custom, practice,' or 'strength, muscle.' Historically, it has been associated with the physical attributes of strength and vitality. As the language evolved, the term began to take on a more specialized meaning, primarily referring to muscular strength, particularly in the context of physical capability. Thew has also been linked to the Proto-Germanic term '*รพiuwaz,' which indicates strength, quality, or virtue. Although the word is now somewhat archaic, it appears in various literary contexts, often evoking imagery of robust health and athleticism. Today, it is rarely used in everyday language but may appear in historical or poetic references.
