What runny means
Having a thin, liquid consistency that flows easily, often used to describe foods like eggs, honey, or a person's nose discharge during illness.

From the verb "run" plus the suffix "-y" (meaning having the quality of). "Run" itself comes from Old Norse "rinna" and Old English "rinnan," both meaning to flow or move quickly.
