Etymology
The word 'bumpy' originates from the Middle English word 'bumpen,' which means to thump or strike heavily. This evolved into 'bumpy' as an adjective describing surfaces marked by raised areas or unevenness. With the formation of the comparative and superlative forms, 'bumpiest' emerged to denote the most extreme state of being rough or uneven. The use of 'bumpy' in English literature has been prevalent since the 19th century, and it often appears in descriptive contexts related to travel, describing both literal roads and metaphorical journeys.
