Light and bouncy, or the name of a character/brand; characterized by skipping movements or an energetic, carefree quality.
From 'skip' (to move with light jumps), with the diminutive/descriptive suffix '-y' added. 'Skip' itself comes from Old Norse 'skopa' (to push or jump), first recorded in English around the 14th century.
Skippy is most famous as a peanut butter brand, but the word's real charm is that it captures movement and personality in one sound—when you say 'skippy,' it literally sounds bouncy! Onomatopoeia at its friendliest.
