Etymology
The word 'wheezy' comes from the base word 'wheeze,' which has its origins in the Middle English word 'hwesen,' meaning to breathe heavily or with difficulty. The evolution of the term reflects a long history of describing respiratory sounds associated with various conditions. 'Wheeze' has been used in English since at least the 14th century, and the adaptation to the comparative form, 'wheezier,' follows the standard English formation for comparatives, indicating a heightened degree of wheeziness. Such terms have gained medical implications as understanding of respiratory conditions developed through time, particularly in cases like asthma and bronchitis.
