'bushy' originates from Middle English, specifically the word 'busshy,' where 'bush' meant 'a shrub or clump of shrubs.'

'busshy' changed from Middle English word 'busshy' and eventually became the modern English word 'bushy'.

Initially, it meant 'covered with bushes,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'having a lot of bushes or resembling a bush in appearance.'
