Etymology
The word 'peppy' originates from the word 'pep,' which emerged in the late 19th century. 'Pep' was first recorded around the 1860s and is believed to be derived from the colloquial term for pepper, suggesting something that brings spice or liveliness to a situation. The suffix '-ier' indicates a comparative form, implying that the subject is more filled with spirit or energy than another. As a descriptor of lively temperament or condition, 'peppy' quickly gained popularity in American English. Its usage expanded into various contexts, including music, personal demeanor, and various forms of entertainment, reflecting a generally upbeat and spirited quality. Over time, 'peppier,' as a form, has maintained this association with high energy and positive vibes, becoming a part of everyday vernacular to express increased liveliness.
