Define Dextrinous Wort

I can't find a good definition or discussion about this anywhere. My guess is it's a wort that is highly fermentable. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Other way. Dextrines are unfermentable, long-chain sugars, so a dextinous wort is one that's not terribly fermentable.

Glucose, maltose are important sugar for the yeast (to ferment). Dextrines are also a type of sugar that are non-fermentable?

Dextrins are sugar chains that are too long for standard brewer's yeast to ferment, but too short to be considered starch. They can be anywhere from 4-20ish sugar molecules in length (well, technically as short as three, but brewer's yeast can digest 3-chain sugars). Dextrins will give your beer body, but less than 1/5 the sweetness of table sugar. Unlike brewer's yeast and wine yeast, Brettanomyces can digest many dextrins, so many mixed-culture brewers will intentionally produce a wort high in dextrins to produce an adequate food supply for the brett.
