Origin

Late 18th century: from Italian, literally 'stalk, stump', from Latin thyrsus (see thyrsus).

  • Like bust, torso at first described sculpture, referring to the trunk of a statue without the head and limbs. Charles Dickens, in Our Mutual Friend (1865), was one of the first to apply it to the living human body, writing of a man with ‘too much torso in his waistcoat’. The word itself came from Italian, where it originally meant ‘a stalk or stump’.
