Etymology
The term 'droopy' is derived from the verb 'droop', which comes from the Middle English word 'droupen', meaning 'to hang down'. This word itself has roots in Old English 'drūpan', meaning 'to fall'. The adjective form, indicating something that hangs or sags, likely emerged to describe physical characteristics that exhibit such behavior. The comparative form 'droopier' suggests a relative measure, showing increased droopiness compared to something else. Over time, the use of the word has expanded beyond physical descriptions to convey feelings of tiredness, listlessness, or lack of energy.
