Freety

/ˈfriːti/ adjective

Definition

Characterized by or suggesting freedom; free-like or having a quality of unrestricted movement or action.

Etymology

From 'free' + diminutive or adjectival suffix '-ty' (similar to 'safety' from 'safe'). This is an archaic or dialectal formation that rarely appears in modern English.

Kelly Says

This word is so obscure that it barely survives in English dictionaries—it's a reminder that English constantly creates new words by adding suffixes, but most of these inventions die out if they don't catch on with speakers.
