Today’s Wordle Answer June 9

The Wordle answer today is girth.

The etymology of girth has its roots in Old Norse, where it made the jump to Middle English in the rough Viking era.

Its first recorded usage was around 1300, where it had the equestrian meaning of a secured belt around a horse’s body. It wasn’t until some 300 years later that historians started to see recorded uses of it being used more generally to just mean the measurement around the middle of something.

This is how it would be more commonly used today, and is yet another example of the process of metaphorical extension creating new word meanings in English.
