Etymology
The word 'yeti' originates from the Tibetan language, where it is termed 'yeh-teh' or 'yeh-te' meaning 'rocky place.' The term was introduced to the Western world in the early 20th century during explorations of the Himalayas. The 'Abominable Snowman' label was popularized by British explorer Henry Newman in 1921, who misinterpreted local reports of a 'mighty man-like creature' as something monstrous and savage. Since then, the yeti has appeared in various media, folklore, and cryptozoological studies, making it one of the most famous mythical beings associated with the mountains. Its imagery often reflects the clash between nature and humanity, symbolizing the fears and mysteries that mountainous terrains hold.
