Anchory

/ˈæŋkəri/ adjective

Definition

Resembling, relating to, or characteristic of an anchor; providing or suggesting security and stability.

Etymology

From 'anchor' + '-y' (having the quality of). This adjective suffix creates informal descriptive words from nouns, similar to 'rocky' or 'cloudy.'

Kelly Says

The '-y' suffix makes formal words cozier and more colloquial—'anchory' sounds like something you'd hear in nautical fiction, suggesting something reliably solid.
