TRICKSY. adj. [from trick.] Pretty. This is a word of en-
dearment.
The fool hath planted in his memory
An army of good words; and I do know
A many fools that stand in better place,
Garnish’d like him, that for a tricksy word,
Defy the matter. Shakesp. Merchant of Venice.
All this service have I done since I went.
–My tricksy spirit! Shakespeare’s Tempest.
