Etymology

The term 'pixy' has origins in the early 19th century, believed to derive from the Cornish word 'piskie', which referred to a small creature or spirit of the sea. This term itself may have its roots in the earlier Old English 'piscis', meaning fish, signifying the mythical connection to water. Throughout the years, pixies have evolved in folklore, often depicted as benevolent beings that help or hinder humans depending on their mood. In popular culture, pixies have become a staple of fantasy literature and children's stories, emphasizing their playful and whimsical characteristics.
