RAINY

What rainy means

Characterized by the frequent occurrence or presence of rain, or marked by rainfall.

Where the word comes from

Rainy comes from the noun rain plus the suffix -y, meaning "characterized by" or "full of."

The ultimate origin may connect to an Indo-European root meaning "to flow" or "to pour," though the earliest documented forms are Germanic.
