means Feeling a faint, prickling, slightly electric sensation on or under the skin, often from excitement, cold, or returning circulation.
from From "tingle," which arose in late Middle English as a variant of "tinkle" — both imitative words for a thin, ringing sensation. Where "tinkle" stayed in the ear (a small bell's high note), "tingle" migrated to the skin, naming that same fine, vibrating quiver felt rather than heard. The "-y" ending is the ordinary English habit of turning a sensation into a describable quality.
