Silky describes something that feels smooth and soft, like silk cloth — smooth to the touch and often shiny too. It is used for hair (silky hair), skin, and fabric, and even for a smooth voice or taste — a 'silky' sauce or wine feels smooth going down, with no rough or texture. It is a pleasant, positive word.
絲滑的;柔滑的
組成silk (the fine, smooth cloth made by silkworms) + -y (a suffix meaning 'like' or 'full of'). So silky literally means 'like silk.'
