The term "bootlegging" originated in the 19th century and refers to the practice of smuggling alcohol, particularly during Prohibition in the United States (1920-1933). It derives from the practice of hiding flasks of liquor in the legs of tall boots. Over time, the term has expanded to include the illegal production and distribution of various goods, but its roots remain linked to the clandestine trade of alcohol.
