Broomy

/ˈbruːmi/ adjective

Definition

Resembling, containing, or covered with broom plants; having the characteristics of broom.

Etymology

From broom + -y (adjective suffix making nouns into adjectives). Common pattern: broom → broomy, like bush → bushy.

Kelly Says

The -y adjective suffix is one of English's most productive patterns—it can be attached to almost any noun to create an adjective, which is why children instinctively understand words they've never heard before, like 'broomish' or 'broomlike'.
