Facty

/ˈfækti/ adjective

Definition

Informal: containing many facts; characterized by an emphasis on facts; factual in nature.

Etymology

From fact + -y (informal adjective suffix). A colloquial formation common in English for creating casual adjectives, lacking the formality of 'factual.'

Kelly Says

This is casual speak—a 'facty' article in a newspaper might be dry and data-heavy compared to more narrative-driven writing.
