Etymology
The term 'spiffy' originated in American English during the late 19th century and is believed to be a combination of the words 'spiff', which means smart or well-dressed, and the suffix '-y', which forms adjectives. The original term 'spiff' was likely derived from British slang and refers to a stylish or smart appearance. Over the years, 'spiffy' and its comparative 'spiffier' have remained in casual vernacular, often used to describe someone who is fashionably dressed or an object that is presented in an attractive manner. Its usage has evolved, yet it retains its association with neatness and style.
