Where the word comes from

From beef, which entered English in the 13th century via Old French "buef" (ox, beef), from Latin "bos" (cow). The suffix "-y" turns the noun into an adjective meaning "resembling or full of beef." Originally describing meat that was substantial or muscular, by the 1800s it extended to mean strong or muscular in general, especially when describing a person.
