Etymology
The word 'thread' comes from the Old English 'þræd', which traces back to Proto-Germanic '*þrōþaz', deriving from the Proto-Indo-European root '*terh₁-', meaning 'to twist'. Over time, 'thread' has evolved to incorporate various meanings and uses, including the literal sense of a long, thin strand of material, like those used in sewing, as well as metaphorical applications describing connections and narratives. The adjective 'thready' is relatively modern, showcasing the evolution of language as new contexts arise, and 'threadiest' simply takes this further by denoting the highest degree of thread-like properties.
