MOMMY
What mommy means
A mother, especially one addressed directly by a young child or used informally by adults.
Where the word comes from
From the 1950s, "mommy" is a playful variant of "mummy" (British English for mother), itself derived from the baby-talk word "mom" or "mum." These nursery terms likely arose from the natural sounds infants make—the repetitive "m" sounds being among the easiest for babies to produce. The "-y" or "-ie" suffix was added as a diminutive, common in English for affectionate or childish forms.
