Definition
Having the quality or appearance of camaca fabric; shimmering or watered in texture.
Etymology
Derived from camaca plus the English adjectival suffix -y, meaning 'resembling or having qualities of.' This formation is typical of English fabric terminology from the medieval and Renaissance periods.
Kelly Says
English speakers added -y to exotic fabric names to describe their look—camacey, damask-y, etc.—showing how we make adjectives by just adding suffixes to words we find interesting.
