Etymology
The word 'saggy' originates from the verb 'sag', which dates back to the early 19th century. The verb is believed to stem from Middle English 'saggen,' meaning 'to sink or droop,' which itself derives from the Old English 'sāgan', a word related to the action of sinking. The suffix 'y,' meaning 'having the quality of,' was likely added to form the adjective. The comparative form 'saggier' reflects a common pattern in English where adjectives are modified to compare qualities. Over time, 'saggy' has become widely used in various contexts, from describing physical conditions to referring to the state of objects, emphasizing the change or loss of structure.
