Covered with or having fur; having a soft, hair-like texture. Can also refer to members of a subculture interested in anthropomorphic animal characters.
From Middle English 'furry,' derived from 'fur' plus the adjectival suffix '-y.' 'Fur' itself comes from Old French 'fuerre' (sheath, scabbard), originally referring to the lining of garments with animal pelts.
