Original entry ↗suffix
Selected source glosses provide context, not a complete modern definition inventorySuffix forming nouns or adjectives, sometimes diminutive and usually informal or jocular.
Perhaps originally two distinct suffixes, one diminutive and the other adjectival; sources of both are uncertain. If so, then equivalent to -s + -y.
