Etymology

The term 'jazz' originated in the early 20th century in the United States, initially associated with a lively and energetic form of music that evolved from African American musical traditions. The word itself is believed to have come from the slang of the time, with various theories regarding its exact origins; it might be connected to the word 'jasm', which means energy or enthusiasm. As jazz music gained popularity throughout the 1920s and beyond, adjectives like 'jazzier' began to emerge to describe elements that were more aligned with the distinctive qualities of this genre. The suffix '-ier' is a comparative form in English, used to indicate a greater degree of the quality denoted by the base adjective. Thus, 'jazzier' signifies a relative increase in the characteristics associated with jazz, such as rhythm, improvisation, and emotional expressiveness, shaping both musical discussions and broader cultural expressions.
