Word origin
The word 'soppy' is derived from the British English colloquial term which signifies being overly sentimental or excessively emotional. The origins trace back to the word 'sop', which dates back to the 14th century, meaning a piece of bread soaked in liquid. Over time, 'soppy' evolved from this original meaning to describe something that is excessively wet or soggy. By the 19th century, it began to adopt its current meaning related to sentimentality. The suffix '-est' is added to form the superlative, 'soppiest', indicating the highest degree of this quality. The usage of 'soppy' and 'soppiest' often carries a tone of criticism, suggesting that the emotional display is unwarranted or clichéd.
