Etymology

The word 'pulpier' is derived from the noun 'pulp,' which has its origins in the late Middle English 'pulp,' meaning 'soft or fleshy part of fruit.' The term comes from the Latin 'pulpa,' which means 'flesh' or 'soft tissue.' The comparative form 'pulpier' indicates a greater degree of softness or mushiness compared to something else. Over time, 'pulp' has also been used in a broader context, referring not just to the physical texture of food but also to literature and media characterized by sensationalism. The evolution of the term reflects its application to various contexts, from culinary discussions to critiques of genres that emphasize shock value over substance.
