Etymology
The word 'scabby' is derived from the noun 'scab', which has its roots in the Old Norse word 'skabb', which means 'scab' or 'itch'. The usage of 'scab' to describe a crust that forms over a healing wound dates back to the 14th century. The adjective 'scabby' has been in use since at least the late 16th century to describe skin that is afflicted with scabs. In terms of etymology, the transition from 'scab' to 'scabby' reflects the common linguistic practice of adding suffixes to create descriptive adjectives that convey the quality or condition of a noun. The concept of scabbiness is often linked to infections or irritations and has been a part of medical vocabulary for centuries.
