The origin OF running the gantlet dates
tack to medieval times. The word gauntlet"
from the French CANT ":loye," may imply the
iron glove of coat of armor, and is thus di-
rectly associated with a military punishment
where the delinquent had to run be wcen the
lines and the soldiers were only permitted to
strik with the gloved hand-that is the hand
with the gantlet on But other etymolog SITS
derive gantlet in this phrase from gantlope
dutch gang, passage" ana loopen, TO
"run"), meaning a military punishment which
consisted in making the culprit, naked to the
waist pass peatedly through two rows OF
soldiers facing each otter, armed with short
sticks or he: weapons, with which they hit
him as he passed.
