dialectregionalnautical
Tidy, trim, or in good order, especially of a ship or house.
Predy is a West Country dialect word for something kept neat and shipshape, long used along the Devon and Cornwall coast among sailors and fishing families. A predy boat has its ropes coiled and its deck cleared, and the same word applies just as easily to a tidy kitchen. It survives mainly in older rural and nautical speech rather than in general English.
