Definition of undefined

The word "thigh" has its roots in Old English. The term "þeg" or "þegh" is believed to have originated from the Proto-Germanic word "*tekiz", which referred to the thigh or upper leg. This Proto-Germanic word is thought to have come from the Proto-Indo-European root "*teg-", which means "to stretch" or "to extend". This root is also seen in Modern English words such as "stretch" and "tension". Over time, the spelling and pronunciation of the word "thigh" evolved to its current form. The meaning of the word remained consistent, referring to the part of the body located between the knee and hip.
