DESCRIPTION

Bootstrapping Bootstrapping or booting refers to a group of metaphors which refer to a self-sustaining process that proceeds without external help. The phrase appears to have originated in the early 19th century United States (particularly in the sense "pull oneself over a fence by one's bootstraps"), to mean an absurdly impossible action, an adynaton.
