The answer

FLUFF

What fluff means

Light, soft material made of fibers or down, or trivial content that lacks substance or importance.

Where the word comes from

From Middle English "floffe" or "fluff," likely imitating the sound or appearance of something light and airy. The word may derive from Old Norse "fluff" or similar Scandinavian roots, or it could be onomatopoetic in origin, created to evoke the sensation of soft, fluffy material. The exact origin is uncertain, but it appears to have entered English by the 16th century as both a noun and verb describing light, insubstantial matter.
