What does SKIEY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
poeticliterary
Resembling or characteristic of the sky; airy, lofty or of the color of the sky.
Skiey is a poetic coinage built directly from the noun sky, used by writers who want an adjective describing something as vast, high or blue as the heavens. It appears mostly in verse and elevated prose rather than in everyday conversation, where clear alternatives such as heavenly or azure are more usual. Because it is formed so transparently from sky, readers generally understand skiey on sight even though it is uncommon. Its rarity is part of its poetic effect, marking the language as deliberately elevated.
