Etymology 1

Етимолошко стабло

Средњи Енглески -y

Енглески -y

From Средњи Енглески -y, -i, from Стари Енглески -iġ (“-y, -ic”, suffix), from Пра-Западно Германски *-g, from Пра-Германски *-īgaz (“-y, -ic”), from Proto-Indo-European *-kos, *-ikos, *-iḱos (“-y, -ic”).

Cognate with Шкотски -ie (“-y”), West Frisian -ich (“-y”), Холандски -ig (“-y”), Low German -ig (“-y”), Немачки -ig (“-y”), Шведски -ig (“-y”), Готски -𐌹𐌲𐍃 (-igs, “-y”), Латински -icus (“-y, -ic”), Антички Грчки -ικός (-ikós), Санскрт -इक (-ika). Дублети of -ac and -ic.

Suffix

-y

2. Added to nouns and adjectives to form adjectives meaning “having the quality of”, either “involving the referent” or “analogous to it”.

   ‎mess + ‎-y → ‎messy

   ‎mouse + ‎-y → ‎mousy

   ‎blue + ‎-y → ‎bluey

   ‎clay + ‎-y → ‎clayey

   • 2003, Cory Doctorow, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom‎^[1], Macmillan, →ISBN:

     Tim keeps trying to make it all more impressionistic, less computer-y.

3. Added to verbs to form adjectives meaning "inclined to".

   ‎run + ‎-y → ‎runny

   ‎stick + ‎-y → ‎sticky

   ‎fiddle + ‎-y → ‎fiddly

Usage notes

• This suffix is very productive and can be added to almost any word. When the resulting word is not perceived to be an established or formal word (but rather a nonce word or a casualism), a hyphen is often used before the suffix (sandcastle → sandcastle-y); this is sometimes also used when an established term is used very literally, as a form of clarification (fuzz → fuzz-y (“fuzz-like”), distinct from fuzzy (“covered in fuzz”)). A few long-established words ending with this suffix have distinctive spellings, such as wintry and fiery, which English learners might misspell as *wintery and *firey.

Synonyms

• (form “having quality of” adjectives, denoting “involving the referent”): -al, -an, -ial, -ian, -ly, -ous
• (form “having quality of” adjectives, denoting “analogous to the referent”): -esque, -ish, -like, -ly, -oid

Antonyms

• (antonym(s) of “form “having quality of” adjectives”): -less
