Word origin

The term 'wacky' is believed to have originated in the United States in the early 20th century, around the 1930s. It is most likely derived from the word 'whacky,' which has similar connotations of silliness or eccentric behavior. The exact origins are slightly ambiguous, but it draws influence from earlier slang and colloquial expressions. The comparative form 'wackier' naturally emerged as language evolved, as speakers sought a way to express a heightened degree of wackiness.
