Definitions

  1. causing or fraught with or showing anxiety

Word origin

From Middle English coysy, possibly from Old Norse kveisa (“boil”) ( > Norwegian kveise/kvise), perhaps influenced by Anglo-Norman queisier, from Old French coisier (“to wound, hurt, make uneasy”).

Used in a sentence

  • She was in the middle of a gigantic breakfast of coffee and piles of toast, eggs and bacon and a tall glass of milk. It made him queasy to see all that food.
