Etymology of BODY ENGLISHES
The term "body English" originated in the world of sports, specifically in the game of billiards or pool. It refers to the body movements or gestures made by a player as they attempt to influence the motion or direction of a ball during its course. This often involves the player leaning or moving their body in a particular way to guide the ball towards the desired target.
The use of "body English" can be traced back to the early 20th century in America, particularly among pool players. The exact etymology is uncertain, but it may have emerged from a combination of the words "body" (referring to the physical body) and "English" (referencing the technique of applying spin or side to a ball in billiards). The term gradually expanded beyond the world of billiards and began to be used more universally to describe any physical movements or gestures aimed at influencing an outcome or result.
