Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: moodish adj., -ly suffix2.
Etymology: < moodish adj. + -ly suffix2.The word is listed in T. L. O. Davies Suppl. Eng. Gloss. (1881) as occurring in an unspecified edition of Richardson's Hist. Sir Charles Grandison (I. let. xxii.) with the sense ‘sulkily’.
