Etymology
The word yuckety comes from the saying yuck (meaning 'disgust') with a playful ending like -ety, so it feels like a stronger, sillier form of yucky. A helpful way to remember it is to imagine something that looks or smells so bad you say 'yuck', which is why yuckety describes something unappetizing or disgusting.
