Etymology
The word 'gummy' originates from the late 14th century, derived from the Middle English 'gumme', which means 'sticky substance' or 'gum'. This, in turn, comes from the Latin 'gummi', itself borrowed from the Greek word 'kammion', meaning resin or gum. The development of the comparative form 'gummier' follows the typical English adjective pattern, where -ier is added to indicate a greater degree of the quality represented by the base adjective. Gummy textures are often associated with various food items, particularly confections, which help to reinforce the flavor and experience of consuming the item. Over time, the use of 'gummier' has expanded into other contexts such as describing materials or substances that possess similar characteristics, which can be found in both culinary and non-culinary references.
