Etymology
The word 'bouncy' originated from the verb 'bounce' which has been in use since the 13th century. The suffix '-y' is added to 'bounce' to create the adjective 'bouncy', which first appeared in the English language in the mid-19th century. The term is often associated with energy and liveliness, reflecting the action of rebounding or springing back. Over time, 'bouncy' has evolved to describe not just physical movements but also qualities like hair or texture that convey a sense of resilience and vitality.
