Etymology

The word 'sappier' derives from the root word 'sappy,' which originally meant 'full of sap' in the early 19th century. The metaphorical use of 'sappy' to denote an overly sentimental person emerged later, particularly in American English. It likely evolved from the association of 'sap' with the sticky, sweet substance found in certain trees, suggesting that someone's emotional expression is overly sweet or excessive. Over time, 'sappier' became an adjective describing individuals who are prone to excessive tenderness or emotional outpourings. The transition from a physical description to a personality trait reflects a broader linguistic trend where tangible qualities are often used to characterize abstract traits.
