Etymology

The word 'fluffy' is derived from the word 'fluff,' which originates from the late Middle English term 'fluffe,' meaning 'soft and airy.' This term itself is likely of imitative origin, mimicking the light and airy quality associated with soft substances. The suffix '-ier' is a common English construction used to form the comparative degree of adjectives, indicating a greater degree of the quality described by the adjective. The concept of fluffiness has been appreciated in various contexts, such as in textiles, food, and even describing personalities, thus enriching the language. Over time, 'fluffier' has become a popular term in culinary arts and personal items, such as bedding and clothing, where softness is a valued characteristic.
