Adjective

heavyish (not comparable)

  1. Somewhat heavy.
    • It is an interesting point whether a heavyish or a lightish machine runs fastest. One thing that tells against a light machine is that usually it is much higher geared than a heavy wheel, and therefore what is lost in weight is made up for by the extra labour of propulsion.1901, Sketch: A Journal of Art and Actuality, volume 35, page 37

Origin of heavyish

From heavy + -ish.
