Word origin
The word 'slinky' originally emerged in the early 20th century, specifically in the 1940s. It was first used to describe a particular toy designed by Richard James, which was a helical spring that can 'walk' down stairs. Though initially associated with the expectations of a playful object, the term soon evolved to describe attributes of movement characterized by smoothness or stealth. Over time, 'slinkiest' developed as a superlative form to indicate the utmost quality of being sinuous or stealthy. The transformation of 'slinky' thus represents a linguistic shift from a specific object to a broader characterization of movement or demeanor.
