Breedy

/ˈbriːdi/ adjective

Definition

Etymology

From 'breed' plus the informal suffix '-y' (quality/characteristic). This colloquial adjective builds on 'breed' to describe animals or situations with strong breeding qualities.

Kelly Says

Horse people use 'breedy' all the time to describe a horse that 'looks like a quality thoroughbred'—it's the kind of insider jargon that develops in communities that obsess over genetics and pedigree.
