Flocky

/ˈflɒki/ adjective

Definition

Resembling, containing, or having the characteristics of flock; fuzzy, fluffy, or composed of flocking material.

Etymology

From 'flock' plus the productive adjective-forming suffix '-y' (meaning having the quality of), as in 'fluffy' or 'woolly.'

Kelly Says

The '-y' suffix is one of English's most productive—just add it to almost any noun and you get an adjective, which is why 'flocky' feels natural even if you've never heard it before!
