Etymology

The term 'gushi' stems from the verb 'gush,' which originates from the Middle English 'gusshen,' meaning to pour forth or flow out. The evolution of the word has taken it into a more emotional context, especially in the 20th century, as it began to describe not only liquid flow but also the overflow of feelings or words, often in a positive or affectionate manner. Adding the '-iest' suffix, which indicates the superlative degree in adjectives, suggests the highest level of the quality being described—in this case, the most expressive or emotional form of gushing. This transformation reflects broader cultural trends where openness and overt expressions of feelings have been increasingly accepted and celebrated.
