Etymology

The term 'ritzy' originated in the early 20th century, derived from the name of the famous Ritz Hotel in Paris, which was opened by Swiss hotelier Cรฉsar Ritz. The hotel quickly became synonymous with luxury and high society. The word 'ritzy' began to be used in English around the 1920s to describe anything associated with the opulence and elegance of the Ritz Hotel. Initially, it was used primarily in American English to describe flashy fashion or grand settings, but it soon spread to describe various aspects of life that exude wealth or extravagance. The continued existence of the term showcases the lingering influence of luxury hotels in popular culture.
