Etymology: "Rizz" is a slang noun clipped from "charisma," and its use exploded online around 2022 and 2023, largely through streamers and short-video clips. It became so widespread that Oxford University Press named it its Word of the Year for 2023. The clipping is the key to the whole family: a single syllable of an old, formal word became a casual label for romantic or social charm. "Rizzly" is an adjective built on that slang base, presumably by adding an adjectival ending to "rizz" in the same playful way that online slang often stretches a root into new forms. Its exact coinage and first recorded uses are not something I can date with confidence, so the most solid fact is simply its link to "rizz" and the recent slang wave that produced it.
