Etymology

The word 'wirier' is derived from the base word 'wiry', which originated in the early 18th century from the Old English word 'wir', meaning 'a thin, flexible thread or wire'. The suffix '-y' is used to form adjectives. The evolution to 'wirier' is a comparative form that reflects a degree of the wiry quality. Over the decades, 'wiry' has been used to describe not just materials but also physical stature, implying a certain robustness combined with slenderness. The association with strength in a lean form is emphasized in sports and fitness contexts, where being 'wirier' suggests agility and energy.
