Etymology

The word 'poky' appears to have originated in British English in the early 20th century. It is derived from the dialectal term 'poke', which means a small bag or container. This reflects the notion of confinement or restriction, as something that is 'poky' is often small and lacking in space. Over time, the adjective 'poky' evolved to describe not only physical spaces but also situations or attitudes perceived as cramped or overly particular. The comparative form 'pokier' follows regular patterns in English for forming comparative adjectives, highlighting the gradual transition of the term from a specific reference to spatial constraints to a broader application in describing feelings or behaviors.
