Origin

Mid 17th century (denoting the upper part or torso of a large sculpture): from French buste, from Italian busto, from Latin bustum 'tomb, sepulchral monument'.

Originally bust referred only to sculpture, usually a piece of sculpture representing a person's head, shoulders, and chest. The term came into English in the 17th century through French from Italian busto. The Latin source of the Italian word was bustum ‘a tomb, sepulchral monument’. When in the early 18th century a living person was described as having a bust, there was usually some comparison with marble or a sculpture. It was not until the later 19th century that the word appeared in the context of dress and fashion, and the measurement of a woman's bosom for clothing sizes. The bust, meaning ‘to break’ is a mid 18th-century US variant of Old English burst.
