Etymology

The word 'soupy' is derived from the word 'soup', which originates from the Latin 'suppa', meaning bread soaked in broth, and the Old French 'soupe', referring to liquid food made by boiling meat and vegetables. The term began to appear in the English language around the 19th century, and over time, 'soupy' developed as an adjective to describe any consistency resembling that of soup. The flexible use of the term has allowed it to extend beyond culinary contexts, often used to characterize dishes that are overly wet or to describe overly sentimental situations. Its evolution reflects culinary traditions and the emotional responses they evoke.
