Etymology

The word 'woolly' originates from the mid-15th century, derived from Middle English 'wolle' (wool) combined with the suffix '-y', which denotes a state or quality. The superlative form 'woolliest' follows the common English pattern of adding '-est' to the base adjective to indicate the highest degree of a quality. Historically, 'wool' itself traces back to Old English 'wul', which has cognates in several Germanic languages, reflecting the material's significance in early societies, particularly in relation to agriculture and textile production. The use of 'woolly' has expanded over time to describe not only the physical characteristics of wool but also to convey metaphorical meanings associated with softness and lack of clarity, showing the evolution of language and its adaptability to different contexts.
