Etymology

The term 'thickset' dates back to the early 19th century, evolving from the combination of 'thick' and 'set.' 'Thick' originates from Old English 'thicc,' which means 'having a broad or strong build,' and 'set,' which refers to the arrangement or configuration of something. Together, 'thickset' conveys the sense of a compact and strong physical presence. Its usage has been primarily associated with describing people, especially those who possess a defined muscular build, as well as objects that have a dense and substantial nature. Over time, the word has been adopted in various contexts within the English language, emphasizing robustness and solidity.
