Definition
Bent forward with the back curved or rounded, often from being tired, cold, or sad.
Etymology
From the verb 'hunch', possibly from an old Germanic root meaning to push or shove. The word became common in the 1500s to describe the posture of someone bending their back forward.
Kelly Says
Your posture actually affects your mood—when you hunch forward, your brain receives signals that make you feel more anxious and sad, which is why people naturally slouch when depressed. Standing up straight literally helps you feel better, something psychologists call 'embodied cognition.'
