Etymology
The word 'giggle' is believed to have originated in the late 15th century, stemming from the Middle English 'gigglen,' which likely derived from a combination of sounds intended to imitate laughter. Over time, 'giggle' evolved to represent a light and often high-pitched laugh. The comparative form 'gigglier' takes this base and adds the comparative suffix '-ier' to denote a higher degree of the quality it describes. This shift emphasizes the notion of increased merriment or joyfulness in an individual’s laughter. The playful connotation associated with giggling has made it especially popular in describing the behavior of children and young people, who often express joy and excitement through giggles. The usage of 'gigglier' reflects the cultural emphasis on happiness and playfulness that resonates across various social contexts.
