Etymology
The word 'mouthy' originated in the early 19th century as a colloquial form derived from the noun 'mouth', which denotes the opening in the face through which food is taken in and speech is emitted. The suffix '-y' is often used in English to create adjectives that describe a characteristic or quality. Therefore, 'mouthy' essentially means having the quality of a mouth, or being overly vocal. The transformation into 'mouthiest' indicates a comparative degree of 'mouthy', suggesting that someone is the most talkative among a group. Its usage has primarily remained informal, often depicting a person with a penchant for excessive chatter or bold expression of opinions. Over time, 'mouthy' has found its place in various informal contexts, particularly in competitive or youth-centric environments such as school and sports, emphasizing characteristics of brashness or excessive pride in one's ability to vocalize thoughts.
