Growthy

/ˈɡroʊθi/ adjective

Definition

Characterized by or full of growth; inclined to grow; developing or expanding rapidly.

Etymology

From 'growth' plus the adjectival suffix '-y' (from Old English meaning full of or characterized by).

Kelly Says

This informal adjective shows how productive the '-y' suffix is in English—we use it constantly in casual speech to turn nouns into quick descriptors ('a rainy day,' 'a growthy economy').
