Etymology

The word 'sprier' originates from the Old English word 'spryge', which signifies 'to spring up' or 'to leap'. This etymology reflects the word's connotation of motion and liveliness. Over time, 'sprier' evolved to describe not only physical agility but also a spirited and lively character. It captures the essence of youthfulness and vigor, qualities often associated with those who are described as spry. The term was more widely used in the 19th century literature and has since seen a decline in everyday usage, though it still holds appeal when characterizing someone with an energetic and buoyant personality.
