Etymology

The word 'gay' has its origins in the Old French word 'gai', which dates back to the 12th century and meant joyful or happy. Its use to describe sexual orientation began in the early 20th century. Initially, 'gay' referred to carefree and happy individuals; however, during the 20th century, it evolved to primarily denote a person who is attracted to members of the same sex. The superlative form 'gayest' also emerged to express an extreme degree of the characteristics associated with being 'gay', whether in terms of happiness, flamboyance, or celebration of LGBTQ+ identity. The increased visibility of the LGBTQ+ community, especially since the latter part of the 20th century, has led to more ubiquitous use of the term 'gayest' in a variety of contexts, from social settings to pop culture.
