Definition
Thin, translucent, and delicate in appearance or texture, resembling gauze fabric; sometimes used metaphorically for something insubstantial or hazy.
Etymology
From 'gauze' (the thin fabric originating from Gaza) plus the adjectival suffix '-y,' forming an adjective meaning 'resembling or having the qualities of gauze.'
Kelly Says
Writers absolutely love the word 'gauzy' because it evokes both visual delicacy and metaphorical vagueness—think of 'gauzy memories' or 'gauzy dreams.' It's one of those words that's gained poetic weight beyond its simple material origin!
