Definition
Inclined to baulk; showing reluctance to proceed, refusing to move forward, or stubbornly resistant.
Etymology
Adjective formed from baulk with the suffix -y, creating the meaning 'characterized by baulking.' Common English pattern for turning verbs into descriptive adjectives.
Kelly Says
Animals like horses are called 'baulky' when they refuse to move—the term perfectly captures that stubborn moment when a creature just... stops and won't budge.
