Resembling or characteristic of a corset; fitted tightly or constrained.
From corset + -y (adjectival suffix). The -y suffix converts nouns to adjectives describing qualities related to that noun, as in 'cloudy' or 'sandy.'
Like 'corsesque,' this shows how English plays with adjective-making—'corsy' emphasizes the feeling or appearance of being tightly bound, appearing especially in fashion journalism and design criticism.
