Etymology
The word 'squishy' is derived from the verb 'squish', which emerged in the early 19th century. The origin of 'squish' is uncertain but might be imitative of its associated sound and action, depicting the act of squeezing or compressing something soft. The suffix '-ier' is a standard comparative form in English, used to describe something as more than another in terms of quality. Hence, 'squishier' indicates a relative degree of softness or yieldingness compared to something else. Over time, it has been used in various contexts, especially in culinary descriptions and everyday objects that have a soft texture. The term has become popular in informal language, particularly in describing comfortable furnishings and food textures.
