Resembling or characteristic of a channel; having channels or grooves, or marked by narrow passages.
From 'channel' plus the adjective-forming suffix '-ly' (Old English '-lic'). A rare or archaic formation.
Archaic adjectives like 'channelly' show how English once easily created descriptive words—we've lost this flexibility, which is why modern English relies more on compound words than old '-ly' adjectives.
