biggity

/ˈbɪɡɪti/

Where it comes from

Apparently from big + -ed + -y, a compound suffix used to form adjectives meaning “having the quality of”; compare uppity. Alternately, perhaps from big + -ety, a suffix used to extend monosyllabic words; compare hot diggety, hippity-hop. Attested in the Southern United States since the late nineteenth century. Commonly reanalyzed as bigot + -y.

adjective more biggity · most biggity · biggedy · biggety · biggoty · bigotty
