Inclined to gulp; characterized by gulping or eating in large swallows.
From 'gulp' plus the adjectival suffix '-y,' following the common English pattern of forming adjectives from verbs (like 'jumpy' from jump or 'sleepy' from sleep).
Words ending in '-y' often describe personality traits or habitual behaviors—'gulpy' suggests someone has a characteristic way of eating, just like 'jumpy' means someone tends to be startled, showing how the suffix transforms verbs into descriptions of how people typically act.
