Word origin

The word 'glitzy' originates from the informal term 'glitz,' which emerged in the mid-20th century. 'Glitz' is derived from the Yiddish word 'glitsn', meaning to shine or to sparkle, reflecting the show's flashy and superficial nature. Over time, 'glitzy' became an adjective denoting something that is excessively ornate or eye-catching, often associated with glamour and sophistication. The addition of the suffix '-iest' is a common morphological process in English to form the superlative degree of adjectives, allowing 'glitziest' to effectively describe an event, object, or person that embodies the pinnacle of gaudiness or glam factor.
