Etymology

The word 'bitchy' derives from the noun 'bitch', which originally referred to a female dog in Middle English, coming from the Old English term 'bicce'. Over time, 'bitch' evolved to take on pejorative meanings when applied to women, suggesting they were seen as aggressive or unpleasant. 'Bitchy' emerged in the 20th century, primarily to describe women who exhibit behavior that is considered harsh, critical, or unkind. The comparative form 'bitchier' allows speakers to compare levels of this behavior, indicating that someone is exhibiting even more of these undesirable traits. This shift in use reflects broader societal attitudes toward women and assertiveness, with the term often being employed in a playful or sarcastic tone among peers, despite its negative connotations. Today, the term retains its informal edge and is often used in both humorous and serious contexts.
