Etymology

The word 'brainy' originated in the early 19th century as a combination of 'brain' (referring to the organ of the mind) and the suffix '-y' (meaning 'characterized by' or 'having the qualities of'). It first appeared in English to describe someone who possesses or displays intelligence. Over time, 'brainy' has become a common adjective to praise intellectual abilities or to describe someone who appears intelligent.
