Resembling, relating to, or characteristic of books; fond of or devoted to reading and books; bookish or literary in nature.
From 'book' (Old English 'bōc') + '-sy' (variant of '-y', a suffix meaning having qualities of). This informal adjective emerged in the 20th century as a casual alternative to 'bookish.'
While 'bookish' implies studious pedantry, 'booksy' is warmer and more playful—it describes someone who genuinely loves the experience of books, not just intellectual pretension.
