Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term derives from the Four Asian Tigers (Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan) which experienced rapid and aggressive economic growth starting in the 1960s. The 'tiger' metaphor was chosen to evoke the animal's fierce energy, speed, and predatory prowess in global markets. Over time, the phrase expanded to describe any rapidly developing and industrializing national economy.
