Etymology

The word 'sassy' originated in the American English vernacular around the late 19th century. It is believed to derive from the word 'sauce', which meant 'impudence' or 'audacity'. The playful and somewhat cheeky tone of the word fits well with its connection to lively attitudes and responses. As the word evolved, 'sassy' came to embody a vibrant mix of confidence and attitude, and this meaning transitioned into the comparative form 'sassier'. The use of 'sassy' grew in popularity throughout the 20th century, particularly in pop culture and among younger generations, adopting a more humorous and light-hearted connotation. Today, being 'sassier' can imply a spirited interaction or sharper wit, often embraced in casual conversations.
