Word origin
The word 'sulky' originated in the 18th century from the obsolete adjective 'sulk', which meant 'to keep aloof, to withdraw'. It is believed to have come from the obsolete French word 'soulche', meaning 'to lie hidden'. Over time, 'sulky' evolved to describe a bad-tempered or moody behavior, as well as a type of carriage.
