Origin of the word steamy

"Steamy" derives from the word "steam," which originates from the Old English word "steama," meaning "vapor" or "mist." The word "steam" describes the visible vapor produced by boiling water or other liquids. "Steamy" then arose as an adjective to describe something that is full of or produces steam, often associated with hot, humid conditions. Over time, "steamy" has also developed a figurative meaning, often referring to something passionate, intense, or suggestive, like a "steamy romance." This metaphorical usage likely emerged from associating the steamy heat with the intensity of emotion.
