piny

Meanings

1. 1
   adj

   covered with, full of, resembling, or characteristic of pine trees

   A piny ridge rose dark green above the valley.

Formed in English from pine + -y, the adjective-forming suffix meaning 'characterized by' or 'full of.' Pine descends through Old English pin and Latin pinus. Piny can therefore describe terrain covered in pines or something that resembles or evokes them.
