Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the adjective 'short' in the financial sense of selling something one does not yet own (dating back to the late 19th century in Wall Street terminology) combined with 'sale' from Middle English 'salen', originating from Old Norse. The term evolved to describe both the speculative trading practice and the real estate transaction where a property is sold for less than the mortgage balance.
