Bosky (adj)

bos-kee

covered with bushes, shrubs, and small trees; woody.

Bosky was first recorded in 1585–95 and comes from the noun bosk, “a small wood or thicket,” which entered English around 1250–1300. Bosk, in turn, comes from the Middle English variant of busk(e), which shares the Old Norse origin, buskr, with bush, “a low plant with many branches.”
