Close, dang close, diameter at breast height
How high is an average breast?
Depends on where your eyes are.
"breast height" is 4.5 feet.
It's because many trees have "butt swell" where they flare out at the base. Measuring there would give a higher number that did not accurately represent the amount of lumber in the tree.

Butt swell is all the rage these days.
It's only been fairly recently (100 years or so) that we've taken to using "breast" exclusively for women. Used to be used basically where we now use "chest".
