Definition
Making sharp, rapid, popping or snapping sounds; having a texture that crackles when touched or eaten; making crackling noises.
Etymology
From 'crackle' (to make a series of sharp sounds) plus the '-y' suffix forming adjectives. 'Crackle' itself comes from 'crack' with the frequentative suffix '-le,' indicating repeated action.
Kelly Says
The adjective 'crackly' has become standard for describing audio quality and food textures, but it's only become common in the last 100 years—before that people would say something was 'prone to crackling' or describe it more literally rather than using this handy suffix-based adjective!
