Etymology

From acorn + -y.

Meanings

1. Resembling an acorn, acornlike.
   • At the time when an acorn exists, there doesn't seem to be anything else which is acorny (even when bronze has not yet been shaped into anything with a purpose, there is still at least a lump which is brazen, but it is hard to imagine anything corresponding for acorns). 2009, André Laks and Michel Crubellier, editor, Aristotle's Metaphysics: Beta Symposium Aristotelicum, OUP Oxford, →ISBN, page 265:
