Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the noun 'funk', which originally meant a strong, earthy smell, dating back to the 18th century from the Old French 'fumicter' (to smoke). By the mid-20th century, jazz musicians adopted 'funky' to describe earthy, deeply felt blues styles, which subsequently expanded to describe syncopated rhythm and unconventional, stylish, or eccentric aesthetics.
