Etymology
The word 'fluff' originated in the early 18th century, derived from the Middle English word 'floffe' meaning 'soft, downy hair.' It has evolved to encompass various meanings related to softness, lightness, and insignificance. The verb form of 'fluff' emerged later, with its modern usage reflecting a sense of failure or lightness.
