Curby

/ˈkɜːrbi/ adjective

Definition

Resembling, containing, or characterized by curbs; having prominent curbs or curb-like qualities.

Etymology

From 'curb' plus the diminutive/characteristic suffix '-y' (having the quality of), a highly productive English adjectival suffix.

Kelly Says

The '-y' suffix is one of the most flexible in English—we can add it to almost any noun to create an adjective, so 'curby' streets instantly means 'streets with prominent curbs,' even though it's probably a rare word.
