Etymology

The word 'sass' originated in the 19th century as a colloquial term in American English. It is believed to have derived from a combination of the words 'sassy' and 'sauce', both of which carry connotations of boldness and insolence. The term was likely popularized in the context of informal speech, particularly among younger generations. Over time, 'sass' has taken on a more playful or humorous undertone, often used in a lighthearted manner rather than as a serious insult. The evolution of the term reflects changes in social attitudes towards informal speech and the value of wit in conversations. As such, 'sassed' is commonly used in contemporary dialogue to describe moments of cheeky defiance.
