Word origin
The word 'fleecy' originates from the Middle English word 'flersy' which meant 'made of fleece'. It is derived from the Old English word 'flesc', meaning 'fleece of sheep'. The use of 'fleecy' to describe something soft and fluffy dates back to the 17th century. Over time, the word has also acquired a negative connotation related to deception and fraud, likely due to the association with fleece as a symbol of shearing or taking advantage.
