Etymology
The word 'drizzle' comes from the Middle English 'drislen' meaning 'to fall in drops', which is a frequentative form of 'driz' meaning 'to fall' or 'to droop.' The use of the word in English has changed over centuries, denoting a gentle, light rain. The superlative form 'drizzliest' is formed by adding '-liest' to the base adjective 'drizzly,' which also has its roots in the same family of origins. Over time, 'drizzle' and its derivatives have found a valuable place in everyday language, particularly in discussions regarding weather conditions in regions where light rain is common.
