Quote:gid·dy (gĭd'ē)
adj., -di·er, -di·est.
Having a reeling, lightheaded sensation; dizzy.
Causing or capable of causing dizziness: a giddy climb to the topmast.
Frivolous and lighthearted; flighty.
intr. & tr.v., -died, -dy·ing, -dies.
To become or make giddy.
[Middle English gidi, crazy, from Old English gidig.]
giddily gid'di·ly adv.
giddiness gid'di·ness n.
SYNONYMS giddy, dizzy, vertiginous. These adjectives mean producing a sensation of whirling and a tendency to fall: a giddy precipice; a dizzy pinnacle; a vertiginous height.
WORD HISTORY The word giddy refers to fairly lightweight experiences or situations, but at one time it had to do with profundities. Giddy can be traced back to the same Germanic root *gud- that has given us the word God. The Germanic word *gudigaz formed on this root meant "possessed by a god." Such possession can be a rather unbalancing experience, and so it is not surprising that the Old English descendant of *gudigaz, gidig, meant "mad, possessed by an evil spirit," or that the Middle English development of gidig, gidi, meant the same thing, as well as "foolish; mad (used of an animal); dizzy; uncertain, unstable." Our sense "lighthearted, frivolous" represents the ultimate secularization of giddy.
Very interesting.
May you avoid both possession and instability.
