Etymology
The word 'perky' has its origins in the early 19th century, derived from the British dialect term 'perke', which means to prance or frolic. The use of 'perky' to describe someone or something as lively and cheerful emerged around the early 1900s. The comparative form 'perkier' is simply an evolution of this characterization, used to denote an even higher degree of cheerfulness or vitality. Over the years, 'perky' has found its place in colloquial English, often associated with youthful exuberance and a buoyant spirit. Its usage has expanded in modern language to include various contexts, such as describing someone's demeanor, the characteristics of a drink, or even the appearance of a setting. 'Perkier' reflects an enhanced state of this cheerfulness, commonly used in informal and everyday conversations.
