Word origin

The term 'cushy' originates from the Hindi word 'khush', meaning 'pleasant' or 'happy'. It was adopted into English in the late 19th century, primarily used by British soldiers in colonial India to describe something that was comfortable or easy, often in the context of a cushy job. Over the years, the word evolved in English, gaining a broader usage that includes not only jobs but also various situations signifying comfort or ease. The superlative form 'cushiest' was then derived to emphasize the highest degree of comfort or ease in any given scenario. The term retains a somewhat informal connotation, often associated with leisure or minimal effort, and is still prevalent in modern vernacular.
