Word origin

The term 'jazzy' originated in the early 20th century in the United States, tracing its roots back to the jazz music phenomenon that emerged from African American communities in New Orleans. The word is first documented around the 1910s, a time when jazz began to gain significant popularity. As jazz music evolved, so did the language surrounding it. Terms like 'jazzy' began to be used to describe not just music, but also styles and attitudes associated with the genre.
