Etymology
The word 'foxier' is derived from 'fox', which originated from the Old English word 'fox', used to denote the animal known for its cunning personality. The term has Germanic roots, tracing back to related words in various languages, such as Dutch 'vos' and German 'Fuchs'. Over time, the term has not only referred to the animal itself but has also evolved to describe human traits that evoke the sly, clever nature of the fox. Since the 16th century, it has been common to use the term in literature and conversation to denote someone who is considered to be particularly clever or attractive in a sly manner. The comparative form 'foxier' signifies that the subject possesses enhanced qualities of cunning or attractiveness, often associated with the traits of the fox. This word has found its place in modern vernacular, especially in social contexts where looks and cunning personality traits are discussed.
