Racy
(gcide) | Racy \Ra"cy\ (r[=a]"s[y^]), a. [Compar. Racier
(r[=a]"s[i^]*[~e]r); superl. Raciest.] [From Race a
tribe, family.]

characteristic taste; tasting of the soil; hence, fresh;

Syn: Spicy; spirited; lively; smart; piquant; risqu['e].
Usage: Racy, Spicy. Racy refers primarily to that
peculiar flavor which certain wines are supposed to
derive from the soil in which the grapes were grown;
and hence we call a style or production racy when it
"smacks of the soil," or has an uncommon degree of
natural freshness and distinctiveness of thought and
language. Spicy, when applied to style, has reference
to a spirit and pungency added by art, seasoning the
matter like a condiment. It does not, like racy,
suggest native peculiarity. A spicy article in a
magazine; a spicy retort. Racy in conversation; a racy
remark.
[1913 Webster]
Rich, racy verses, in which we
The soil from which they come, taste, smell, and
see. --Cowley.
