Origin of 'blowziest'

The word 'blowzy' is believed to have originated in the 19th century, with some etymologists indicating it comes from a blend of the word 'blow' and a suffix typically used for adjectives ('-zy'). Originally, it was used to describe something that looked or seemed disheveled, often related to the effects of wind. As language evolved, the comparative form 'blowzier' was created, eventually leading to the superlative 'blowziest'. Its usage has been primarily colloquial and regional, found in certain dialects of English. The transformation from a descriptor of physical disarray to one of meteorological phenomena illustrates the fluid nature of language and meaning.
