Etymology: Etymology tree English powder English -y English powdery From powder + -y.

  1. Of or pertaining to powder.

    powdery drink

    We were plowing through great deeps of powdery alkali dust that rose in thick clouds and floated across the plain like smoke from a burning house. We were coated with it like millers; so were the coach, the mules, the mail-bags, the driver—we and the sage-brush and the other scenery were all one monotonous color.

  2. Having a lot of powder.
