Heezy

/ˈhiːzi/ adjective

Definition

Descriptive term (possibly slang or dialectal) meaning short of breath, wheezy, or characterized by panting.

Etymology

Derived from 'heeze,' with the adjectival suffix '-y,' creating an adjective form describing someone or something characterized by heeze-like breathing.

Kelly Says

'-y' is one of English's favorite suffixes for creating adjectives from nouns and verbs—'heezy' from 'heeze' follows the same pattern as 'noisy' from 'noise'!
