Resembling or containing characteristics of an ache; having a dull, persistent pain quality.
Derived from 'ache' (Old English 'æce') with the suffix '-y' meaning 'full of' or 'characterized by'; developed naturally in English to describe pain sensations.
English speakers love adding '-y' to make adjectives, and 'akey' captures that specific feeling when your muscles don't hurt sharply but just feel tired and sore—like after you've been sitting too long.
