Etymology

The word 'squishy' has its origins in the early 19th century, derived from the English verb 'squish', which means to compress or squash something. It likely comes from the earlier term 'squish', imitative of the sound or action of something being pressed. The term 'squish' itself may connect to the words 'squash' and 'squizzle', both of which convey a sense of softness or yielding. As language evolved, the adjective 'squishy' became popular to describe not just the tactile quality of objects, but also has taken on a more metaphorical connotation, often used to express affection or charm in objects or creatures that invoke a sense of cuddliness or endearment. In contemporary usage, 'squishy' is often applied to food items like marshmallows and gummy candies, as well as stress relief toys that are designed to be squeezed, providing a tactile sensation that is pleasant and comforting.
