Glovey

/ˈɡlʌvi/ adjective

Definition

Resembling, containing, or suggestive of gloves; somewhat informal adjective meaning glove-like.

Etymology

From 'glove' + '-y' (adjective suffix). The '-y' suffix transforms nouns into informal adjectives describing something's quality or containing aspect.

Kelly Says

The '-y' suffix is one of English's most creative tools—'glovey,' 'fluffy,' 'crunchy'—we add it to almost anything to describe how something feels or seems, and native speakers instantly understand new '-y' words!
