Etymology
The word 'sultry' originates from the Middle English 'sultrie' and has roots in the Old English 'sultrig,' which came from the Proto-Germanic '*swelðra' meaning 'to burn or be hot.' Historically, 'sultry' was often used to describe warmth in the context of weather or climate, particularly in areas that experienced high humidity. Over time, the term expanded to encompass the idea of seduction and deep sensuality, capturing both a physical state and emotional resonance. The comparative form 'sultrier' emphasizes an increase in these qualities, often enhancing the imagery or emotional weight in literary works and everyday descriptions.
