Origin:
The word "saucy" originated in the late 16th century from the Middle French word "sauce," meaning "sauce." The word "sauce" itself originated from the Vulgar Latin word "salsa," meaning "salted," which was derived from the Latin word "sal," meaning "salt."
The use of "saucy" to mean "covered in or served with a sauce" developed naturally from its literal meaning. However, the figurative meaning of "saucy" to mean "boldly or playfully suggestive or impertinent" is believed to have come from the idea that food that is covered in a thick, rich sauce is often seen as indulgent and luxurious. Over time, this connotation of indulgence and luxury came to be associated with behavior that is considered to be bold or suggestive.
