The word "sexy" derives from "sex," originally from Latin sexus (biological division into male/female), which evolved to connote sexual attraction in modern English. The suffix "-y" (Old English -ig) transforms nouns into adjectives, giving "sexy" its meaning of "having qualities of sexual appeal." By the early 20th century, it broadened to describe anything provocatively stylish or exciting.
