Word origin

The word 'soppy' originated in the early 19th century, derived from the noun 'sop' meaning a piece of bread dipped in liquid. Over time, 'soppy' evolved to describe something overly sentimental or emotional, similar to the excessive soaking of bread in liquid. The term has since been used to describe individuals or behavior that exhibit an exaggerated display of emotion or sentimentality.
