OriginMiddle English: from Old French oistre, via Latin from Greek ostreon; related to osteon 'bone' and ostrakon 'shell or tile'. This goes back ultimately to Greek ostreon, which was related to ostrakon ‘shell or tile’ and is linked to ostracize. The possibility that on opening an oyster you might find a pearl has given us an expression that goes back to Shakespeare. In The Merry Wives of Windsor the boastful Pistol brags to Falstaff, ‘Why then, the world's mine oyster, which I with sword will open.’
