Etymology of FLESH OUT
The term "flesh out" originated from the 16th century. The word "flesh" in this context means the soft substance that forms the muscular and other tissues of humans and animals. It comes from the Old English word "flǣsc". The verb "flesh" initially meant to put meat on a skeleton or to provide a form or substance.
The addition of the preposition "out" intensifies the meaning of "flesh" to suggest the expansion or completion of something by adding substance or details. The phrase "flesh out" has been used metaphorically since the late 19th century to describe the process of adding depth, detail, or substance to an idea, plan, or concept. It is often used in relation to adding substance or details to a story, argument, or proposal, making it more fully developed or complete.
