Etymology

The term 'drooly' is derived from the verb 'drool,' which originates from the Middle English word 'droulen,' meaning 'to dribble, let saliva fall.' The word has its roots in the Old English 'drฤ“ogan,' which implies to endure or suffer. Over time, 'drool' evolved to refer specifically to the salivary secretion that naturally occurs when one is hungry or needs to eat. The suffix '-y' is added to form an adjective, capturing the essence of something that is full of drool or characterized by excessive salivation. This characterized usage has been popularized in both casual and comedic language, reflecting a light-hearted and colloquial tone in its application.
