goaty

Resembling a buck

Goaty describes something resembling or suggestive of a goat—the smell, the coarse texture of hair, or the stubborn temperament.

A goaty odor is musky and pungent, like the scent of a billy goat.

A goaty beard is scraggly and unkempt.

The word occasionally describes lecherous behavior, goats being associated with lustfulness.
