The word "girlish" is derived from the Middle English word "girle" or "gierle", which referred to a young person of either sex. It originated from the Old English word "gyrela", meaning "young person". Over time, "girle" began to specifically refer to a young female, and the suffix "-ish" was added to create the adjective "girlish", describing qualities associated with girls, such as youthfulness, playfulness, or innocence.
