the.com/frisky
the kind of energy that turns kittens into tiny chaos demons and grandpas into flirts
means Playfully energetic, lively, and a little bit cheeky — full of bouncy high spirits.
from Born from the older word 'frisk,' meaning to leap or gambol about, which English borrowed from Old French 'frisque,' meaning lively or brisk. That French word likely traces back to a Germanic root related to 'fresh' — so a frisky creature is, quite literally, brimming with freshness. The '-y' ending simply turned the action of frisking into a permanent personality trait.
