Etymology

The word 'doughy' originates from the Middle English word 'doughe,' which is derived from the Old English 'doh' meaning 'dough.' The use of the term to describe a particular texture began in the late 19th century, reflecting a growing interest in culinary terminology as baking became more popular among home cooks and professionals alike. The texture it describes has often been associated with various types of bread, pastries, and other baked goods that indicate an underbaked quality or an excess of moisture. Over time, the term has been widely adopted in informal contexts to critique or describe food texture.
