Etymology: "Hully" is a plain formation: the noun "hull," the outer shell or husk of a fruit, seed, or pod, with the suffix "-y" added to make an adjective meaning covered with or full of hulls. The word is built from familiar parts rather than borrowed from another language, so its interest lies in the suffix doing ordinary work on an older English noun.
