Origin of the word sporty

The word "sporty" originated in the early 1900s, evolving from the word "sport," which itself has a long history. "Sport" comes from the Old French word "desport," meaning "amusement" or "diversion." "Sporty" initially described something related to sports, but its meaning expanded to encompass characteristics associated with sports, such as being active, energetic, and athletic. This broadened usage led to its application to describe people, clothing, and even vehicles that exhibited these qualities.
