Etymology
The term 'springy' originated from the Old English word 'springan', meaning 'to leap, burst forth, fly up, come into being, arise'. Over time, the word evolved to describe the qualities of bounce, elasticity, and resilience that we associate with springs today. The concept of something being 'springy' has been used metaphorically to describe various qualities in both physical and abstract contexts.
