Having the quality of being bleak; somewhat bare, cold, or desolate.
From 'bleak' (Old Norse 'bleikr') + '-y' (Old English adjectival suffix). This is a less common variant of the '-ish' formation, creating a casual adjective from the base word.
'-y' adjectives are super casual and British—'bleaky' sounds more like something you'd hear in conversation than read in formal writing, and that tells you how language differs between speech and text!
