Etymology
The word 'husky' originates from the early 19th century, derived from the American English term 'husk', which likely refers to a husky or rough quality. The term was used to describe voice qualities that sound thick, strong, or raspy. In the context of describing voices, it gained popularity as a term to express a certain depth and richness, often associated with warmth and emotion. The superlative form 'huskiest' thus emphasizes the extreme degree of this vocal quality, indicating the highest level of huskiness in a voice. Over time, husky has also evolved to describe not only sounds but also appearances and physical attributes, particularly in describing robust or stocky builds.
