Definition of dusty

dustyadjective

bụi bặm

/ˈdʌsti//ˈdʌsti/

The word "dusty" originates from the Old English word "dūst," meaning "dust." This word itself is believed to have come from Proto-Germanic "*dust," which ultimately traces back to the Proto-Indo-European root "*dʰews-," meaning "powder, fine dust." Over time, "dūst" evolved into the Middle English "dust," and from there, the adjective "dusty" was formed, meaning "covered in or resembling dust." So, the word "dusty" is a direct descendant of the ancient concept of fine particles, carrying with it the weight of history and the natural world.
