Etymology

The word 'sultry' comes from the Old English 'sweltan', which means 'to die' or 'to perish,' relating to the oppressive heat that can lead to discomfort or even heat-related illnesses. The usage of 'sultry' in the context of weather conditions began to emerge in the 14th century, evolving from a broader meaning that described anything that made one feel faint or weak. Over time, 'sultry' has taken on a more specific meaning associated with warm and humid weather, and the superlative form 'sultriest' emphasizes the extremes of such conditions. This evolution reflects how language adapts to describe human experiences and the environment, capturing the intensity of weather phenomena that can affect daily life.
