Think of the moment a bottle is opened: a soft , a thousand small bubbles climbing the glass, and a sharp tingle on the tongue. Fizzy is that moment turned into a word. Everything the word does afterwards keeps the bubbles in view — the drink you order, the drink itself as a thing, and the person or piece of writing that will not sit still.

fizzy 可以想成開瓶的那一秒:嘶的一聲,無數小泡泡往上衝,喝下去舌頭麻麻刺刺的。這個字就是把那一秒定住。後面所有的用法都還看得見泡泡:你點的那杯飲料、被當成名詞的那一罐、還有一個靜不下來的人或一段跳動的文字。

From the word’s history

Wiktionary records fizzy as fizz + -y, and fizz itself imitates the sound. So the sound came first and the picture of bubbles came with it.

Wiktionary 記的是 fizz 加 -y。fizz 這個字本身是模仿聲音來的,就是開瓶的「嘶」。所以先有聲音,泡泡的畫面跟著聲音一起進來。這解釋了為什麼這個字同時管聲音和氣泡。
