Etymology
The term 'spongier' is derived from the noun 'sponge,' which originates from the Old English 'spลnge,' meaning the same thing. This word has its roots in Latin 'spongia' and Greek 'spongos,' both referring to the porous material used for absorption. The suffix '-er' is used to form comparative adjectives, indicating a higher degree of the quality described. As a comparative form, 'spongier' began to be used as early as the late 18th century to describe not only the natural item 'sponge' but also other materials exhibiting a similar texture.
