释义 | Sy[ sahy ] / saɪ / nouna male given name, form of Seymour, Simon, or Silas. Definition for Sy (2 of 3)sy- variant of syn- before s followed by a consonant and before z: systaltic; syzygy. Definition for Sy (3 of 3)-sy a suffix forming nouns or adjectives, sometimes a diminutive of the base word and usually confined to informal and jocular use (bitsy; footsie; halvsies); adjectives formed with -sy may be ironic, implying that the quality in question is self-consciously assumed or feigned (artsy; cutesy; folksy). The combination of -s3 and -y1 or -y2 in certain words (antsy; gutsy) should perhaps be considered further instances of this suffix. Origin of -syperhaps originally two distinct suffixes, one diminutive (as in Betsy, popsy, tootsy) and the other adjectival; sources of both are uncertain Dictionary.com UnabridgedBased on the Random House Unabridged Dictionary, © Random House, Inc. 2020 British Dictionary definitions for Sy (1 of 2)sy the internet domain name forSyrian Arab Republic British Dictionary definitions for Sy (2 of 2)SY abbreviation forSeychelles (international car registration) Collins English Dictionary - Complete & Unabridged 2012 Digital Edition © William Collins Sons & Co.
