Bosky is a literary adjective meaning densely wooded, full of bushes and shrubs, or overgrown with vegetation. It describes a thickly planted, pleasantly wild landscape full of undergrowth. The word has a slightly poetic, Romantic-era flavour — it's the kind of word Keats or Coleridge might have used to evoke a shaded, verdant natural scene. Still used occasionally in literary prose and nature writing where something more evocative than 'wooded' or 'bushy' is wanted.
The path wound through a bosky hollow where the light barely reached the ground even at noon.
