LOIN (through O. Fr. loigne or logne, mod. lunge, from Lat. Iambus)

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 923 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LOB-LUP
LOIN (through O. Fr. loigne or logne, mod. lunge, from Lat. Iambus) , that
part
  of the
body
  in an animal which lies between the upper
part
  of the hip-bone and the last of the false ribs on either side of the back-bone, hence in the plural the general
term
  for the
lower
  part of the human
body
  at the junction with the legs, covered by the
loin
 -
cloth
 , the almost universal garment among primitive peoples. There are also figurative uses of the word, chiefly biblical, due to the loins being the supposed seat of male vigour and power of generation. Apart from these uses the word is a butcher's
term
  for a
joint
  of
meat
  cut from this part of the body. The upper part of a
loin
  of beef is known as the " surloin " (Fr. surlonge, i.e. upper loin). This has been commonly corrupted into " sirloin," and a legend invented, to account for the name, of a king, James I. or Charles II., knighting a prime
joint
  of beef " Sir Loin " in pleasure at its excellence. A
double
  surloin, undivided at the back-bone, is known as a " baron of beef," probably from an expansion of the legend of the " Sir Loin."
