Etymology

The word 'fidgety' is derived from the verb 'fidget', which originated in the late 17th century. The term 'fidget' originally meant 'to be in a restless state', and 'fidgety' evolved from this to describe someone who exhibits nervous or restless behavior. Over time, the word has come to be commonly used to describe individuals who have difficulty sitting still or staying focused. The term has become particularly relevant in the context of attention-deficit disorders and hyperactivity.
