Etymology
The word 'heady' has its roots in the Old English 'hæd', which refers to being intoxicated or inebriated. Initially, it described the sensation of being light-headed, as if one were floating due to the effects of alcohol. Over time, its usage expanded to encompass more than just drunkenness. By the latter part of the 19th century, 'heady' began to also describe anything that inspired a sense of exhilaration or excitement, such as thrilling experiences or intense emotions. The superlative form 'headiest' emerged as a way to emphasize the extreme version of these feelings or qualities. Today, 'headiest' can apply to various contexts where emotions or experiences reach their peak intensity, often accompanied by a sense of euphoria or loss of control.
