Resembling, characteristic of, or befitting a bard; having a poetic or bardic quality.
From 'bard' + '-y' (an adjective-forming suffix). The '-y' suffix comes from Old English and Germanic roots, used to create adjectives meaning 'having the quality of' or 'resembling.'
The '-y' suffix is one of the oldest and most productive in English—we can slap it on almost any noun (soggy, rainy, brainy) to instantly create an adjective, showing how flexibly our language builds meaning.
