Etymology

The word 'glitz' originated from the Yiddish word 'glitz', which means 'to shine'. It was adapted in English during the late 19th century, and its usage grew in the 20th century, especially in the context of show business and media. The suffix '-ier' serves to amplify the meaning, turning 'glitz' into a comparative adjective. Over time, the word has maintained its connotation of opulence and excessive display, especially in relation to fashion and entertainment. The rise of social media and influencer culture has further popularized the use of 'glitzier', as individuals often seek to present a more dazzling and extravagant version of their lives online.
