Tomboy
A tomboy is a term for a girl or a young woman with masculine qualities. It can include wearing androgynous or unfeminine clothing and actively engage in physical sports or other activities and behaviors usually associated with boys or men. Who Are Tomboys and Why Should We Study Them?, '' SpringerLink'', ''Archives of Sexual Behavior'', Volume 31, Number 4 Etymology The word "tomboy" combines a generic male name "Tom" with "boy". Nowadays, this word refers to boyish girls, but the etymology suggests the meaning of tomboy has changed drastically over time. Records show that Tomboy used to refer to "boisterous male children" in the mid 16th century.” To understand why the typical male name "Tom" is incorporated in the term tomboy, "Tom" is an abbreviation for the male name "Thomas," and can be utilized as a generic term for men. Slangs invented in the early 16 century, such as “every Tom, Dick, and Harry,” and "Tom of all trades” suggest English speakers utilize “t ...
