Etymology: A fashion magazine helped make this word famous. In the 1930s, the American publication Harper's Bazaar popularized it, having likely begun as college or showbusiness slang in the United States. Before that, it was the lively talk of students and performers, who used it for the sparkle that makes a performance or an outfit stand out. "Pzazz" is an alternative spelling of "pizzazz," and the two forms share this history and meaning.
