a name shared by retired cowboys, springer spaniels, and exactly nobody under forty.
means Covered in or full of dust, or by extension dry, stale, and long-neglected.
from From Old English "dust," the fine dry powder of disintegrated matter, with the adjective-forming "-y" that turns nouns into "full of this stuff." The Germanic root is shared with words across the family — Dutch and German cousins point back to a sense of fine particles that scatter and settle. The same little "-y" gives us "muddy" and "sandy"; "dusty" simply names the thin grey film that gathers on anything left still too long.
