Imagine a 'scarf' covered in flakes or scales (like dandruff). The word 'scurfy' sounds like 'scarf-y,' helping you remember it means something flaky or scaly.
Break it Down
Split the word into 'scurf' + 'y.' 'Scurf' refers to flakes on the skin or scalp (like dandruff), and '-y' makes it an adjective. So, 'scurfy' describes something with scurf.
