Made of, containing, or resembling bricks; having a rough, solid texture like brick.
From 'brick' plus the adjectival suffix '-ly', which comes from Old English '-lic'. Note this is distinct from the adverbial '-ly'—here it forms an adjective describing brick-like qualities.
The suffix '-ly' confuses many English learners because it creates both adjectives ('brickly,' 'prickly') and adverbs ('quickly,' 'slowly'), showing how English reuses patterns for different grammatical purposes.
