Etymology

The word 'heady' has its roots in Old English, derived from the word 'heah', meaning 'high, elevated', which later evolved in Middle English. The term began to be associated with exciting, intoxicating or disturbing experiences, particularly those that alter one's state of mind. Over time, 'heady' has been used to describe anything from strong alcoholic beverages that can cause a sense of euphoria to thrilling experiences that overwhelm the senses. The comparativization to 'headier' serves to express a greater degree of these qualities, thus enriching the contextual understanding of the term. This evolution reflects shifts in language as it mirrors societal attitudes towards intoxicating experiences and heightened emotions.
