Definition
Affected by dandruff; having the condition or appearance of dandruff, with flaky or scaly skin on the scalp.
Etymology
Formed from 'dandruff' plus the adjective-forming suffix '-y,' creating an informal descriptive adjective following the productive English pattern seen in 'flaky' or 'scaly.'
Kelly Says
The suffix '-y' is one of English's most creative tools—you can take almost any noun and add '-y' to describe something that has or resembles it (flaky, sandy, stuffy), making speakers spontaneously generate descriptions.
