Etymology

The word 'mouthy' is derived from the noun 'mouth', which has Old English roots from 'muรฐ', meaning the opening of the face used for eating and speaking. The 'y' suffix is often added in English to form adjectives. The term began to be used informally in the 20th century to refer to individuals who are particularly chatty or outspoken, mainly in North American slang. Its connotation can vary based on context, sometimes being affectionate and other times derogatory. The growth of social media and informal communication styles has likely contributed to the increase in its usage in modern English.
