Etymology

The term 'squeezable' originated from the verb 'squeeze,' which dates back to the late 14th century, derived from the Middle English 'squizen,' meaning 'to press or squeeze.' Its usage continued to evolve over the centuries, with 'squeezable' coming into popular use in the late 20th century as products began to prioritize convenience and user-friendly designs. The increasing demand for practical product packaging and soft, pliable materials in industries such as food and consumer goods led to the coining of this adjective to succinctly describe items that can be easily deformed or compressed by hand. The combination of 'squeeze' and the suffix '-able' signifies the ability to execute the action of squeezing, making the term widely applicable in marketing and product descriptions.
