STRUTTING Meaning and
Definition
-
Strutting, in its simplest definition, refers to a confident and exaggerated walking style or movement. It is characterized by an individual's display of self-assurance, pride, and sometimes arrogance, through their body language while walking. The act of strutting often involves taking bold steps, lifting the head high, and swinging the arms purposefully to draw attention to oneself.
When someone struts, they exhibit a noticeable level of confidence or superiority in their stride, as if they believe they are superior to others. It can be observed in various contexts, such as in fashion shows, where models confidently walk down the runway in a strutting manner to showcase the garments they are wearing. Additionally, individuals may strut when they feel particularly good about themselves, their accomplishments, or their appearance. It is a form of nonverbal communication, expressing a sense of dominance, swagger, or self-importance.
The term "strutting" can also be used metaphorically to describe someone who shows off or boasts about their achievements, skills, or possessions in a brash or conceited manner. This may involve engendering a perception of superiority through their demeanor, actions, or speech. Overall, strutting encompasses an exaggerated display of self-assuredness and can be seen as an attention-seeking behavior aimed at garnering recognition, admiration, or envy from others.

Etymology of STRUTTING
The word "strutting" originated from the Middle English term "strutten", which was derived from the Old English word "strūtian" meaning "to stand out stiffly or project". This Old English word further evolved from the Proto-Germanic word "strutōną", which had the same meaning. The etymology of "strutōną" can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European root word "streu-", meaning "to spread". Over time, the meaning of "strutting" shifted to describe a proud or arrogant gait, often associated with individuals displaying excessive self-confidence or pride.
