adj. slow and dull; lacking energy or excitement
adj. tending to drag or prolong unnecessarily
The word "draggy" combines the verb "drag" (from Old English dragan, meaning "to pull or draw heavily") with the suffix "-y," which forms adjectives indicating a tendency or quality. "Drag" originally described physical pulling but evolved metaphorically to imply slowness or tedium. By adding "-y," the term "draggy" emerged in the 19th century to describe things that feel sluggish or monotonous, mirroring the literal action of dragging.
