Covered with moss, or resembling moss in texture or color.
A mossy surface, such as an old stone wall or a shaded tree trunk, has typically stayed damp long enough for a soft green layer to take hold. The word often suggests a scene that feels old, quiet, or slightly overgrown, since moss tends to spread where an area is left undisturbed. Gardeners and hikers alike use mossy to describe anything from a single rock to an entire forest floor.
