Origin:
The word "svelte" entered the English language in the late 18th century, borrowed from French. The French word "svelte" was derived from the Late Latin word "sveltus," which meant "graceful, slender."
The Late Latin word "sveltus" is thought to have originated from the Old Norse word "sverta," which meant "to sway, swing." This suggests that the original meaning of "svelte" may have been related to the movement or grace of a body in motion.
