Etymology

The word 'tout' has its origins in the early 16th century and comes from the Middle English 'touten,' meaning to look out or to spy. This term was initially used to describe a call to attention or a cry for someone or something. Over time, the meaning evolved to include the act of promoting or praising something, often in a manner that is perceived as overly enthusiastic or aggressive. In the 19th century, it became associated with the practice of selling goods or services in a somewhat boastful manner. The term has since been adopted in various contexts, including marketing, politics, and even in social situations where individuals may highlight their attributes or achievements. Despite its somewhat negative connotation in some uses, touting can also indicate a genuine enthusiasm for a product or idea.
