Etymology
The word 'flighty' originates from the early 19th century and is derived from the word 'flight', which means to leap or move swiftly. The suffix '-y' is used to form adjectives indicating that something is characterized by the quality of being flighty. Over time, 'flighty' began to be used to describe not just physical movements but also mental states, particularly those that evoke erratic or unreliable behavior. The comparative form 'flightier' suggests a more pronounced characteristic of being flighty, focusing on the increased frequency or intensity of these erratic tendencies.
