Etymology
The word 'moody' originates from the late 16th century, derived from the noun 'mood,' which itself traces back to the Old English 'mōd,' meaning 'courage, spirit, or disposition.' The evolution of the term 'mood' saw it adopt a more psychological context, particularly in relation to emotional states. By the 18th century, 'moody' was used to describe someone prone to sudden changes in temperament, often in a melancholic or irritable manner. The superlative form 'moodiest' signifies the highest degree of this quality, indicating a person who exhibits these emotional fluctuations more than others.
