is a basic definition of sexy?\nSexy describes something as arousing interest related to sex, having a large amount of sex-related content, or being very exciting.If something is sexy, it causes sexual arousal in people who are exposed to it or it is designed to emphasize sexual matters. Sexy can be used to describe both other people and objects. A person may describe themselves as sexy if they feel confident and attractive. Something that is more sexually arousing than something else is sexier, and something that is the most arousing is sexiest.\n

Real-life examples: Models often wear sexy clothing in advertisements. Exotic dancers perform sexy dances to entertain customers. People magazine annually ranks the sexiest men alive.
Used in a sentence: The actor recited the lines using a sexy voice.

Sexy can also mean that something is mostly focused on sex.\n

Real-life examples: Pornography often takes the form of sexy movies. Romance novels are often (but not always) sexy books. Singer Barry White is famous for writing many sexy songs.
Used in a sentence: Joe hid his sexy magazines so his little brother wouldn’t find them.

The word sexy is also used to describe something that is exciting, glamorous, or flashy.\n

Real-life examples: A shiny new sports car might be described as a sexy car. A laptop that is sleek and eye catching may be said to have a sexy design.
Used in a sentence: Paying your rent might not be sexy, but it keeps a roof over your head.

The word sexual is similar to sexy and may be used to describe the same things. However, sexual is used to mean something involving sex and not just arousal.","type":"usage-wordpress"}],"ordinal":1,"origin":{"id":"55680e0f0000000386000154","source":"dcom","text":"First recorded in 1920–25; sex + -y ¹","type":"origin"},"partOfSpeechBlocks":[{"definitions":[{"crossReferences":[{"targetEntry":{"headword":"sex","id":"55680e0f000000038600f6da","slug":"sex"}},{"targetEntry":{"headword":"sex","id":"55680e0f000000038600f734","slug":"sex"}}],"examples":[{"sentence":"a sexy novel."}],"id":"55680e0f0000000386000143","ordinal":1,"source":"random-house","text":"concerned predominantly or excessively with sex; risqué."},{"examples":[{"sentence":"the sexy supermodel on the cover of a magazine."}],"id":"55680e0f000000038600014b","ordinal":2,"source":"random-house","text":"sexually interesting or exciting; radiating sexuality."},{"crossReferences":[{"targetEntry":{"headword":"glamorous","id":"55680a37000000038d002efc","slug":"glamorous"}}],"examples":[{"sentence":"a sexy new car."}],"id":"55680e0f000000038600014e","ordinal":3,"source":"random-house","text":"excitingly appealing; glamorous."}],"id":"55680e0f000000038600013d","inflectedFormSets":[{"inflectedForms":[{"form":"sexier","ordinal":1,"syllabicForm":"sex·i·er"},{"form":"sexiest","ordinal":2,"syllabicForm":"sex·i·est"}]}],"ordinal":1,"partOfSpeech":"adjective"}],"pronunciationSets":[{"id":"55680e0f0000000386000137","lang":"en","ordinal":1,"pronunciations":[{"audio":{"flac":"S03/S0391900/S0391900.flac","mpeg":"S03/S0391900/S0391900.mp3","ogg":"S03/S0391900/S0391900.ogg","wav":"S03/S0391900/S0391900.wav"},"id":"55680e0f0000000386000138","ipa":{"text":"ˈsɛk si"},"phonetic":{"boldIndices":[0,1,2],"html":"sek-see","text":"sek-see"}}],"region":"us"}],"slug":"sexy","source":"dcom","type":"dcom"}],"type":"dcom"},{"entries":[{"createDate":"2010-06-19T13:38:42Z","derivedFormSets":[{"derivedForms":[{"form":"sexiness"}],"partOfSpeech":"noun"},{"derivedForms":[{"form":"sexily"}],"partOfSpeech":"adverb"}],"headword":{"normalizedForm":"sexy","standardForm":"sexy"},"id":"4c1cc862e6523dca4f9ba7bd","lang":"en","modifyDate":"2010-06-19T13:38:42Z","ngrams":{"allLetters":true,"forward":"sexy","groups":["e","s","x","y"],"numLetters":4,"reverse":"yxes","subwordTokens":["sexy","exy","xy","y"]},"normalizedLetter":"s","ordinal":1,"partOfSpeechBlocks":[{"definitions":[{"examples":[{"sentence":"a sexy dress"},{"sentence":"a sexy book"}],"id":"4cfa72a3bae620a2cabd9660","ordinal":1,"tags":[{"tag":"General:General_Language:General_Language_Term","type":"subject-field"}],"text":"provoking or intended to provoke sexual interest"},{"id":"4c88892e80158c0e5ad52bcf","ordinal":2,"tags":[{"tag":"General:General_Language:General_Language_Term","type":"subject-field"}],"text":"feeling sexual interest; aroused"},{"examples":[{"sentence":"a sexy project"},{"sentence":"a sexy new car"}],"id":"4c75a2350504653148d2a109","ordinal":3,"tags":[{"tag":"General:General_Language:General_Language_Term","type":"subject-field"}],"text":"interesting, exciting, or trendy"}],"ordinal":1,"partOfSpeech":"adjective"}],"pronunciationSets":[{"ordinal":1,"pronunciations":[{"ipa":{"text":"ˈsɛksɪ"}}]}],"slug":"sexy","source":"collins","type":"british"}],"type":"british"}],"meta":{"arg":"sexy","requestId":"Urxfsq-v8CaDY3VD4Ytv9","requestStatus":"fulfilled"}},{"type":"fetchSpellSuggestions/fulfilled","payload":{"data":{"lunaWithSlug":[{"displayForm":"sexy","slug":"sexy"},{"displayForm":"secy","slug":"secy"},{"displayForm":"sex","slug":"sex"},{"displayForm":"sex-","slug":"sex"},{"displayForm":"sext","slug":"sext"},{"displayForm":"-pexy","slug":"pexy"},{"displayForm":"hexyl","slug":"hexyl"},{"displayForm":"prexy","slug":"prexy"},{"displayForm":"seamy","slug":"seamy"},{"displayForm":"sexed","slug":"sexed"},{"displayForm":"sexi-","slug":"sexi"}],"tunaWithSlug":[{"displayForm":"sexy","slug":"sexy"},{"displayForm":"dexy","slug":"dexy"},{"displayForm":"sex","slug":"sex"},{"displayForm":"seamy","slug":"seamy"},{"displayForm":"sedgy","slug":"sedgy"},{"displayForm":"seedy","slug":"seedy"},{"displayForm":"seity","slug":"seity"},{"displayForm":"boxy","slug":"boxy"},{"displayForm":"doxy","slug":"doxy"},{"displayForm":"ex-","slug":"ex"},{"displayForm":"foxy","slug":"foxy"}]}},"meta":{"arg":{"word":"sexy"},"requestId":"cBYJfxVIeMESvtw1wfQTt","requestStatus":"fulfilled"}}]},"actionData":null,"errors":null}
