Etymology
The word 'quirk' originates from the late 17th century, possibly deriving from the Scottish word 'quirke,' which means a twist or turn. Over time, it evolved to describe peculiarities in behavior or character. The adjective 'quirky' emerged in the 1980s, incorporating the concept of being peculiar in a charming or amusing way. The comparative form 'quirkier' follows the standard rules of forming comparatives in English, which indicates a greater degree of quirkiness. Throughout the years, 'quirky' and its derivatives have been widely embraced, particularly in pop culture, to convey individuality and uniqueness, especially in fashion, art, and personality traits.
