'husky' originates from the English word 'husk,' referring to the rough outer covering of seeds or fruits, which metaphorically relates to a rough voice.

'husky' changed from the Middle English word 'husk' and eventually became the modern English word 'husky.'

Initially, it meant 'rough or coarse,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'having a hoarse voice' or referring to a breed of dog.
