Definition
Archaic or dialectal adjective meaning courteous, polite, or showing good manners in a somewhat affected or exaggerated way.
Etymology
From Old French 'courteis,' derived from 'court.' The suffix '-sy' or '-sey' creates adjectives meaning 'having the quality of' or 'like,' so 'coursy' means 'like court behavior.'
Kelly Says
The word 'coursy' (also spelled 'courtesy' as an adjective) captures that awkward stage of English around the 1300s when courtly behavior was becoming fashionable but seemed affectedly formal to common people—we still use similar words for over-politeness today.
