Definitions
Eathy is a dialectal British English variant of 'easy', surviving mainly in northern English and some Scottish regional speech. It is rarely encountered outside of historical texts or very localised dialect use today, making it essentially archaic in most contexts. Typically used in informal, everyday speech within communities where the dialect persists, it carries the same meaning as standard 'easy' — not difficult, requiring little effort. Its survival is largely a linguistic curiosity rather than an active part of modern vocabulary.
Old Barnett always said it was eathy enough to fix a dry-stone wall if you'd grown up doing it.
