Etymology
The term 'spruce' originated from the mid-15th century, deriving from the Old French word 'pruce', meaning 'of Prussia', as it was associated with the quality of the spruce tree found in that region. Initially, it referred to the fine quality of materials from trees. Over time, the adjective evolved to describe a neat appearance, reflecting meticulous grooming or smart dressing, linked to propriety and visual appeal. In English literature, 'spruce' has been used since the 16th century in various contexts, often relating to fashion or personal presentation. The comparative and superlative forms, 'sprucer' and 'sprucest', respectively, emerged as a natural linguistic development to describe degrees of neatness or quality in style.
