seedy
Language: English
Part of speech: adj
Pronunciation: ipa: /ˈsiːdi/
rhymes: -iːdi
homophone: cedi
Forms: form: seedier
form: seediest
Etymology: From Middle English sedy, equivalent to seed + -y.
The senses with negative connotation, first attested by 1725 in slang, originally especially “poor, out of money”, probably arose from the metaphor of a flower that has gone to seed, and is no longer considered beautiful. From there the word came to be used to describe unwell or past-their-prime people, and parallelly run-down places and by extension low-income or crime-affected urban areas. Compare the figurative expressions go to seed (by 1817), etc., originally in reference to plants, “cease flowering as seeds develop”.
Senses: examples: text: Pomegranates are as seedy as any fruit you are likely to see.
glosses: Literal senses:
Containing or full of seeds.
glosses: Literal senses:
Seedlike; having the flavour of seeds.
