The central part of the human body between the neck and the hips, consisting of the chest, abdomen, and back.
Where the word comes from
From Italian *torso*, meaning "stalk" or "trunk," ultimately from Latin *thyrsus*, which referred to the wooden shaft of a lance or staff. The Greek root *thyrsos* originally denoted a wand or stick carried in Bacchic rituals. As anatomical terminology developed in Renaissance Italy, *torso* was borrowed into English to describe the trunk of the human body.
