Overview

A boy is a young male human. The term is commonly used for a child or an adolescent. When a male human reaches adulthood, he is usually described as a man. Definition, etymology, and use According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a boy is "a male child from birth to adulthood". The word "boy" comes from Middle English boi, boye ("boy, servant"), related to other Germanic words for boy, namely East Frisian boi ("boy, young man") and West Frisian boai ("boy"). Although the exact etymology is obscure, the English and Frisian forms probably derive from an earlier Anglo-Frisian *bō-ja ("little brother"), a diminutive of the Germanic root *bō- ("brother, male relation"), from Proto-Indo-European *bhā-, *bhāt- ("father, brother"). The root is also found in Norwegian dialectal boa ("brother"), and, through a reduplicated variant *bō-bō-, in Old Norse bófi, Dutch boef "(criminal) knave, rogue", German Bube ("knave, rogue, boy"). Furthermore, the word may be related to Bōia, an Anglo-Saxon personal name. Specific uses

Notable quotes

“School boys and discipline are almost by definition at odds with one another.”
— William S. Abell, Fifty Years At Garrett Park, 1919-1969: A History of the New Georgetown Preparatory School (1970), p. 115
“Boys always play better when they know the girls are watching.”
— Edgar Graham Gammon, 15th President of Hampdeny-Sydney College (1939-1955), writing in 1903, when he was a student at Hampden-Sydney in the Class of 1905. As quoted by John Luster Brinkley in On This Hill (1994), p. 431
“Boys everywhere are quick to recognize and respect any kind of talent in each other, and one of Will Rogers' best talents was talking.”
— Harold Keith, Will Rogers, A Boy's Life (1937)
“Every boy needs schooling in virtues in order to become a great man. And any parent can school him because at the heart of virtue is masculine intuition. Parents don't have to construct the virtues and then pour then into the heart of their son. The virtues are there, but in small fragments that must be cleaned, shaped, and polished.”
— Meg Meeker, Boys Should Be Boys (2008), p. 204
“Boys and girls should be taught respect for each other's liberty; they should be made to feel that nothing gives one human being rights over another, and that jealousy and possessiveness kill love.”
— Bertrand Russell, What I Believe (1925)
“Macte nova virtute, puer, sic itur ad astra.”
— Blessings on your young courage, boy; that's the way to the stars.
