Furzy

/ˈfɜːzɪ/ adjective

Definition

Covered with furze, or resembling furze in being prickly, wild, or rough.

Etymology

From 'furze' plus the suffix '-y' (meaning full of or resembling), a common English pattern like 'spiky' or 'bushy.'

Kelly Says

A 'furzy landscape' is actually ecologically rich—those spiny bushes protect ground-nesting birds and provide food when nothing else grows in poor soil.
