Etymology
The word 'slouchy' derives from the verb 'slouch', which originated in the early 19th century. The verb is believed to come from the dialectal term 'slouch', meaning to walk or sit in a drooping manner. The word was likely influenced by the dialect 'slouch', which referred to a lazy or sagging posture. As language evolved, 'slouchy' emerged as an adjective to describe items or people that exhibit this quality. The comparative form 'slouchier' follows typical English language patterns, adding '-ier' to describe a greater degree of the slouchy characteristic. The term gained popularity in the context of fashion, particularly with the rise of relaxed and oversized clothing styles in the late 20th century and early 21st century.
