Common Misspellings for CHIVY
Etymology of CHIVY
The word "chivy" is derived from the Old English term "ceowan", which means "to complain" or "to lament". This Old English root eventually evolved into "cheven" in Middle English, which meant "to vex" or "to annoy". Over time, the spelling and pronunciation further transformed, and "chivy" emerged as the modern English word we use today, still carrying the connotation of annoying or harassing someone.
