Husky has two separate everyday meanings. As an adjective, a husky voice sounds low, rough, and slightly hoarse, often in a way people find attractive or dramatic. As a noun, a husky is a strong, furry dog breed originally bred to pull sleds in cold places.
(聲音) 沙啞低沉的；哈士奇犬
組成For the voice meaning, likely related to 'husk' (a dry outer shell), as if the voice passed through something dry and rough. For the dog, 'husky' is a shortened, older form of 'Esky', once used for Arctic peoples and their dogs.
