Word origin

The term 'squashy' originates from the Middle English word 'squashen', which means to crush or to squash. This term is thought to be derived from the Old French word 'esquatier', which means to press or squeeze. The transition of the word into modern English reflects both its phonetic evolution and a shift in its usage. Originally used to describe the action of compressing something, it has evolved into an adjective describing the physical state of matter, especially in relation to texture and consistency. It captures the essence of softness and yield, making it a popular descriptive term in culinary and design contexts, particularly when discussing fruits, pillows, and other comfortable objects.
