Word origin

The word 'jowlier' is derived from 'jowl,' which originates from Middle English 'jole,' referring to the jaw or cheek. The term has its roots in the Old French word 'joule' and is related to the Latin word 'juga,' meaning 'yoke.' Over time, 'jowl' evolved to depict the loose fleshy skin around the jawline, often associated with aging or certain facial features. The comparative form 'jowlier' emerged in modern usage to describe a more pronounced or noticeable jowl appearance, reflecting societal perceptions of beauty and aging. The connotation of 'jowlier' can vary, as it may be used descriptively or pejoratively based on the speaker's context. Today, it is often employed in discussions about physical traits in both casual and professional settings.
