Etymology of PATSIEST

The word "patsy" originates from American English and is believed to have emerged in the late 19th to early 20th century. It is derived from the name "Patrick", which was associated with Irish immigrants in the United States. The term originally referred to an easily fooled or manipulated person, often used as a scapegoat or a person who would take the blame for someone else's actions. Over time, the term "patsy" evolved to become a noun meaning a person who is easily duped or taken advantage of. The word "patsiest" is the comparative form of "patsy", indicating someone who is even more easily deceived or manipulated than usual.
