The idiom "beat around the bush" has its roots in medieval hunting practices, where beating bushes was a common technique to flush out birds and other game. Instead of directly approaching the bush and disturbing the prey, hunters would use sticks or branches to beat around the perimeter of the bush, causing the animals to flee. The phrase gradually made its way into everyday language, and by the 16th century, it had taken on a figurative meaning. Today, "beating around the bush" refers to avoiding direct or straightforward communication, often through the use of vague or evasive language.
