OOZY

The word "oozy" originates from the Old English word "ōs," meaning "ooze, slime, mud." This word itself likely stemmed from Proto-Germanic "*ūsō," which had the same meaning. Over time, "ōs" evolved into "ooze," and the adjective "oozy" emerged to describe something covered in or resembling ooze. The word carries with it a sense of wetness, stickiness, and perhaps even unpleasantness, mirroring the nature of the substance it describes.
