Word origin
The term gutsy originated from the word 'guts,' which has its roots in the Old English word 'gūta' meaning 'intestines' or 'bowels.' Over time, 'guts' evolved to represent a metaphorical sense of inner strength or bravery. In American slang, especially in the 20th century, the adjective 'gutsy' began to gain popularity, particularly in reference to individuals who exhibited remarkable courage or audacity in various endeavors. The suffix '-ier' is a comparative form that enhances the meaning, indicating a greater degree of that quality. Thus, 'gutsier' has emerged as the comparative form of the adjective 'gutsy,' illustrating an elevated or increased level of bravery or boldness.
