Pulpy

/ˈpʌlpi//ˈpʌlpi/

"Pulpy" originates from the word "pulp," which itself has a fascinating history. "Pulp" comes from the Latin "pulpa," meaning "flesh" or "soft part." This referred to the edible fleshy part of fruit or vegetables. Over time, "pulp" evolved to describe the soft, mushy substance found in these fruits and vegetables. This sense then expanded to encompass other soft, often messy materials, including paper and wood. "Pulpy" arose as the adjectival form of "pulp," signifying something possessing the qualities of being soft, mushy, or fleshy.
