Etymology

From seal + -y.

Meanings

1. Resembling or characteristic of a seal (the animal).
   • If you reply that, on the contrary, the seal's legs, such as they are, are very characteristic, he takes refuge in the atrocious admission, delivered with a French accent, that they are certainly very sealy legs. 1893 February, Arthur Morrison, “Zig-Zags at the Zoo: VIII.
