the texture that turns a napkin transparent and a meal unforgettable.
means Coated with or resembling grease — slick, oily, and faintly slippery to the touch.
from From 'grease,' which came into English through Old French 'graisse,' itself from Latin 'crassus' meaning 'thick' or 'fat.' The '-y' is the same humble English suffix that turns 'mud' into 'muddy' and 'dirt' into 'dirty,' marking a thing as full of, or covered in, the noun before it — so 'greasy' is, quite literally, 'full of fat.'
