Etymology
The word 'jigglier' stems from the adjective 'jiggly', which has its origins in the late 19th century, derived from the verb 'jiggle.' The root 'jig' is believed to come from an imitation of the light, rapid shaking motion it describes. Over time, the term 'jiggly' became popular in colloquial English to depict things that have a playful, bouncing characteristic. The suffix '-ier' is a common formation in English to form the comparative degree of adjectives, allowing for the expression of increased intensity in the quality referred to by the base adjective, making 'jigglier' the form used to compare the jiggliness of two or more subjects. Despite its playful connotation, 'jiggly' has also been used in serious contexts, such as in describing physical phenomena in various scientific fields, leading to its widespread adoption in both casual and formal contexts.
