Brawly

/ˈbrɔli/ adjective

Definition

Characteristic of or resembling a brawl; quarrelsome, rowdy, or inclined toward fighting.

Etymology

Formed by adding the adjectival suffix '-y' to 'brawl,' creating an informal adjective describing something that has the qualities of a brawl.

Kelly Says

The '-y' suffix is English's favorite shortcut for making adjectives—add it to almost any noun and you get a casual adjective: 'a brawly bar,' 'a muddy field,' 'a sleepy kitten.'
