/ˈtʌfn//ˈtʌfn/The word "toughen" has a fascinating history. The verb "toughen" has its roots in the 14th century, derived from the Old English word "þuf" or "thuf," meaning "thick" or "firm." This word is also cognate with the Dutch word "dun", meaning "thick" or "stout." In Middle English, around the 1300s, "toughen" emerged as a verb, meaning to make something thick or firm, or to strengthen something. Over time, the meaning shifted to describe the process of making something or someone more resilient, robust, or resilient, often through exposure to difficult conditions or challenges. Today, "toughen" is widely used in various contexts, from language and literature to sports and personal development, to describe the process of making oneself or something more capable, resilient, and adaptable.
