Etymology
The term 'boxy' originates from the word 'box', which itself comes from Middle English 'boxe', borrowed from Latin 'buxus', referring to the box tree. The 'y' suffix implies a quality relating to the shape of a box. This evolution of the word reflects its usage in various contexts, especially in design and aesthetics, where the shape of objects is a significant consideration. Over time, the adjective 'boxy' has developed into various forms, with 'boxiest' being the superlative form to describe the most prominent characteristic of a box-like shape. The use of 'boxy' in fashion and automotive industries became popular in the late 20th century, denoting designs that embraced minimalism and straightforward geometrical outlines.
