Etymology
The word 'bushy' originates from the Middle English term 'bush, which itself traces back to the Old English 'bisc', denoting a bush or shrub. The suffix '-y' is added to indicate the quality of being full or thick, characteristic of such vegetation. Over time, 'bushy' evolved to describe not only plants but also any similar characteristics, such as an abundance of hair or fur. This adaptability in meaning reflects the descriptive nature of the English language, allowing for a variety of contexts in which 'bushy' can be applied. Its use has remained relatively consistent, maintaining its roots in the visual characteristics associated with bushes or similarly thick and lush entities.
