Etymology
The term 'maggoty' originated from the Middle English word 'maggot', which is a term for a larva of certain flies. This word can be traced back to the Old French 'maggot', meaning a small insect or worm. The suffix '-y' was added to form an adjective, implying the condition of being infested with maggots. The use of 'maggoty' evolved to describe not just the presence of these larvae, but also to characterize anything that seems rotten, decayed, or associated with death and decay. Historically, maggots have often been linked with spoilage, as they are commonly found in decomposing organic matter.
