Etymology

The term 'thrust' originates from the late Middle English word 'thursten', which meant to push or shove. This word can be traced back to the Old Norse 'รพrysta', which meant to push or press. As the English language evolved, 'thrust' became more commonly used in a variety of contexts, particularly in mechanical and physical references. It expanded into multiple forms, such as the gerund 'thrusting', which describes the action of creating a forceful push. Over the centuries, the applications of thrusting have broadened, influenced by advancements in technology, sports, and physical activities, retaining its essence of vigorous motion.
