Etymology
The word 'soppy' emerged in the early 19th century as a colloquial term in British English. It originally referred to something soaked or mushy, deriving from the adjective 'sop', which means to dip or soak in liquid. Over time, the meaning evolved to describe emotional qualities that are overly sentimental. The comparative form 'soppier' began to be used to describe something that displays even more of these excessive qualities. The shift from a literal to a figurative context reflects how language often adapts and expands based on cultural trends, particularly in relation to romantic literature and emotional expressions in media. Today, 'soppier' is commonly utilized in both everyday conversation and literary critique, maintaining its association with exaggerated emotions.
