Etymology
The word 'wormy' originates from the Old English term 'wyrm', which referred to a serpent or dragon, but has evolved to describe anything that is infested or filled with worms. Over time, the adjective 'wormy' became more commonly used in agricultural and environmental contexts to describe soil or organic materials that support a heavy population of worms. The comparative and superlative forms, 'wormier' and 'wormiest', began to appear in the English language to express varying degrees of infestation. This evolution from a mythological creature to a descriptor of infestation highlights the transition of language influenced by the practical observations of the natural world. Today, 'wormy' and its derivatives have found uses in both literal and metaphorical contexts, describing not only physical properties but also implying something that is deteriorating or corrupted.
