Etymology
The term 'lippier' is derived from the base word 'lip', which originally referred to the edge or rim of something, particularly something that could be pointed or smooth. Over time, it evolved to describe not only edges but also surfaces that have a particular shiny quality. The suffix '-ier' indicates a comparative degree, suggesting that something is more lippy than another. The usage of the term in colloquial English can be traced back to informal descriptions of items in fashion and design, where aesthetics are crucial. It reflects a more modern approach to language, adapting traditional terms to fit new contexts and meanings, particularly in visual and artistic expressions.
