Why are breasts called?
There are several theories about the origin of the word "breast". One theory is that it comes from the Old English word "breost", which means "the chest". Another theory is that it comes from the Middle English word "breste", which means "the upper part of the body". Still another theory is that it comes from the Latin word "bestiae", which means "beasts". This is because in ancient times, women were often compared to animals in terms of their physical attributes.
Ultimately, the true origin of the word "breast" is unknown. However, it is an interesting word with a rich history.
