Abounding in brooks; characterized by many small streams or having the nature of a brook.
From 'brook' plus '-y' suffix (from Old English '-ig'), a productive adjectival ending meaning 'having the quality of' or 'full of.'
The '-y' suffix is so ancient and productive that we barely notice it—'water' becomes 'watery,' 'sun' becomes 'sunny,' 'stone' becomes 'stony,' letting English speakers endlessly customize adjectives.
