Somewhat brown in color; having a brownish tone or tendency toward brown.
From 'brown' (Old English 'brun') plus the diminutive or softening suffix '-y', which creates adjectives suggesting 'somewhat' or 'somewhat like' a quality.
The suffix '-y' turns nouns into descriptive adjectives in a casual way—'browny' feels more informal and childlike than 'brownish,' which shows how English lets us adjust the 'formality level' of descriptions just by changing endings.
