Definition
Resembling or containing grout, a thick mixture used between tiles; having a lumpy or filled-in appearance.
Etymology
From grout (a mortar or liquid cement mixture, possibly from Old English) plus the adjective suffix -y, meaning 'having the quality of.' The term emerged as builders needed to describe materials with grout-like characteristics.
Kelly Says
Grout is one of those invisible technologies that holds our entire built world together—your bathroom tiles would literally fall apart without it. 'Grouty' shows how workers coined practical words to describe the materials they handled daily.
