Definition of chick
chicknoun
gà con
/tʃɪk//tʃɪk/The term "chick" originated in the mid-19th century in the United States. It is believed to have come from the Irish English dialect, where "chick" was used as a diminutive form of "child" or "kidd". This means little one or offspring. In the 1850s, the term "chick" began to be used to refer to a young chicken, and by the late 1800s, it also became a slang term for a young woman or girl. The term was often used affectionately, similar to "sweetheart" or "darling". Over time, the meaning of "chick" expanded to include any female or young person that was seen as being cute or endearing. Today, the term is still used in informal contexts, often with a playful or flirtatious tone.
