The word "bushy" derives from the noun "bush," which originated from Old English "busc" or "bysc," meaning a shrub or thicket. The suffix "-y" (from Old English "-ig") is added to form adjectives indicating resemblance or abundance. Thus, "bushy" literally means "like a bush" or "full of bushes," reflecting its modern meanings related to thickness or dense growth.
