Word of the Day

cloying

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 15, 2026 is:

cloying • \KLOY-ing\ • adjective

Cloying is used disapprovingly to describe something that is too sweet, pleasant, or sentimental.

// She finds most romantic comedies cloying and predictable.

See the entry >

Examples:

“Images of her came to me often, as did snatches of songs in her repertoire, which she sang to me as lullabies. ... What I couldn’t quite summon, despite what I thought of as my keen smell memory, was her fragrance. As a kid, I had never liked it. Bellodgia was heavy, spicy, and floral; when my mother would lean over me to comb my hair ... the cloying rose and carnation combined with her tugging on my scalp always threatened to give me a headache. Still ... I missed that fragrance now.” — Margaret Talbot, The New Yorker, 10 July 2025

Did you know?

The history of cloying isn’t sweet—it’s tough as nails. Cloying comes from the verb cloy, which in Middle English meant “to hinder or seriously injure”; its source is an Anglo-French word meaning “to prick (a horse) with a nail in shoeing.” English cloy too carried this farriery meaning (a farrier being a person who shoes horses) in the early 16th century, but it also had a general sense relating to clogging and stuffing, and in particular to overloading with especially sweet or rich food. From there quickly arose meanings of cloy still in use today: “to supply with an unwanted or distasteful excess usually of something originally pleasing” and “to be or become insipid or distasteful usually through an excess of an originally pleasurable quality (such as sweetness).” The adjective cloying, which describes things that are too sweet, pleasant, or sentimental, was doing the job it does today by the end of the 16th century.
