the.com/boot
armor for the part of you that does all the running away.
means A sturdy covering for the foot and lower leg, typically made of leather or rubber, designed for protection and rough use.
from From Old French 'bote,' a word for a leather covering of the foot, which entered Middle English in the 14th century. Beyond French the trail goes cold — the deeper roots are uncertain, though it may share ancestry with similar footwear words across the Germanic and Romance worlds. The other 'boot' — as in 'to boot,' meaning 'in addition' — is an entirely separate and older word, from Old English 'bot,' meaning 'advantage' or 'remedy,' a cousin of 'better.'
