The word "juicy" derives from the noun "juice," which originated from Old French "jus" (meaning "liquid from boiling herbs") and Latin "jus" (meaning "broth or sauce"). The suffix "-y" was added in Middle English to form adjectives indicating abundance or resemblance. Over time, "juicy" evolved beyond its literal sense to describe figurative richness (e.g., gossip or profit).
