Etymology
The word 'gushier' is derived from the verb 'gush', which originated in the early 18th century. The etymology traces back to the Middle English term 'gussen', meaning to flow out suddenly or to pour out profusely, with influences from various languages indicating a sudden flow or outpouring. The transformation into an adjective ('gushy') implies a quality of being over-the-top or extravagantly emotional, and the comparative form ('gushier') naturally follows to denote a more intense level of this characteristic. Over time, 'gushier' has been used predominantly in informal settings, often within discussions of communication that lacks subtlety and tends to focus on excessive and exaggerated expressions of sentimentality.
