Word origin
The word 'oozy' is believed to have originated in the 17th century. It is derived from the Middle English word 'ose', meaning soft mud, which can be traced back to the Old English word 'wāse'. Over time, 'oozy' has evolved to describe not only the consistency of mud but also sentimental or overly emotional expressions.
