Etymology
The term 'spunky' originates from the word 'spunk', which dates back to the 16th century and is believed to be derived from Middle English 'sponke', meaning 'spark' or 'fire'. The evolution of 'spunk' led to its current usage as a noun referring to courage or determination as well as a lively spirit. The adjective form 'spunky' developed later, becoming popular in the 19th century to describe a person showing spiritedness or courage. The comparative form 'spunkier' emerged as a natural evolution in English grammar, allowing for the expression of varying degrees of this spiritedness. Over time, the use of 'spunky' has expanded beyond personal traits to encompass a sense of vibrancy and innovation in various contexts. It is often employed in both casual and colloquial speech, highlighting qualities of boldness and vivacity.
