Etymology

The word 'frothy' originated in the early 15th century, derived from the Middle English word 'frothi' which meant full of froth. The term 'froth' itself can be traced back to the Old Norse word 'froรฐa' meaning scum. Over time, 'frothy' has evolved to describe not only physical characteristics like bubbles but also metaphorical qualities such as superficiality or frivolity.
