Etymology
The word 'thirsty' originated from the Old English word 'thyrstig', which is derived from the Proto-Germanic word 'thurstigaz'. The basic meaning of 'thirsty' has remained consistent throughout its history, referring to a strong desire for liquid or a craving for something. Over time, the word has also been used metaphorically to express a strong desire or craving for non-physical things, such as success or knowledge.
