Definition
Giving someone the feeling of insects crawling on their skin; creepy, eerie, or causing an unsettling sensation.
Etymology
From 'crawl' + '-y' (adjective suffix from Old English). The '-y' suffix transforms verbs and nouns into adjectives describing their quality.
Kelly Says
Synesthesia lovers appreciate 'crawly'—it translates a visual or tactile sensation into an emotional response. Say it aloud and you can almost feel the tiny legs!
