Etymology
The word 'slouchy' is derived from the verb 'slouch', which originated in the early 18th century. It is thought to have been derived from the Old English word 'slūcan', meaning 'to recline or lean'. The earliest uses of 'slouch' referred to a posture of laziness and lack of care in how one holds oneself. Through the years, the term evolved, and by the late 19th century, adjectives like 'slouchy' began to appear, describing both posture and style. As fashion and social customs changed, slouched postures became associated with a relaxed lifestyle, and terms regarding slouching transitioned into descriptions of casual clothing styles, leading to the superlative form 'slouchiest' being common in modern vernacular.
