Etymology

The word 'fizz' originated in the mid-19th century and is believed to come from the sound that effervescent drinks make when the gas escapes. The root can be traced back to dialectical English, where similar terms were used to describe bubbling or hissing sounds. The verb 'fizz' itself is an onomatopoeic term, meaning it mimics the sound associated with the action. It captures the essence of creating a lively and effervescent atmosphere, which is why it became commonly associated with carbonated beverages. Over time, it has also been used informally to describe situations or emotions that spark with excitement or energy.
