Having the characteristics of or resembling a fever; feverish or feverlike in appearance or quality.
From 'fever' plus '-y' (suffix meaning full of or having the quality of). The '-y' suffix is one of the oldest and most productive in English, creating adjectives from nouns in words like 'sleepy,' 'cloudy,' and 'lucky'.
The simple '-y' suffix is deceptively powerful—it's been in English for over a thousand years and we instinctively understand it with brand new nouns. You could probably understand 'chatbotty' or 'crypto-y' even if you'd never heard those before!
