Bleezy

/ˈbliːzi/ adjective

Definition

Resembling or characterized by bleeze; bright, blazing, or shining intensely; or drafty and windy.

Etymology

From bleeze + -y (adjective suffix). The second meaning (drafty) may derive from confusion with 'breezy' or may represent a separate dialectal usage meaning exposed to wind.

Kelly Says

Bleezy is so obscure that even experienced dictionary users might miss it. It's a perfect example of how regional Scottish English created adjectives for weather conditions and light that English speakers elsewhere simply don't need or use.
