Etymology
The word 'springy' originates from the noun 'spring', which dates back to Middle English 'springe' meaning a leap, jump, or move suddenly. This noun itself has roots in Old English 'springan', which means to leap or jump. The suffix '-y' was commonly added to form adjectives indicating a characteristic. Therefore, 'springy' means 'having the quality of springing or bouncing'. The comparative form 'springier' follows standard English rules for adjective comparisons by appending '-er' to indicate more of the quality described by the adjective. Over time, the term has found its uses in various contexts, from physical attributes of materials to metaphorical uses in describing one's energy or vitality.
