Indeedy

/ɪnˈdidli/ adverb

Definition

An emphatic and informal way of saying 'indeed,' used to strongly agree or confirm something is true.

Etymology

Modern informal variation of 'indeed,' adding '-y' in the style of 'absolutely' becoming 'absolutely-y.' This is playful slang that intensifies the affirmative rather than a formal evolution.

Kelly Says

This word shows how English speakers constantly innovate—adding '-y' to adjectives is productive, so 'indeedy' is creative slang that technically shouldn't work but everyone understands!
