I'm not saying that Fluttershy's a worse pony or anything for it, but that she got scared off before she could properly apologize to Gilda (by Gilda, so it's not really Fluttershy's fault at all).

Morphology

Fluttershy = flutter + shy (transparent) = flutter + shy

The name is a straightforward combination of the words 'flutter' and 'shy', and its sense (a shy character associated with fluttering wings/being timid) is directly inferable.

Etymology

Fluttershy combines flutter ('to move lightly like wings') and shy ('timid'). So the name fits the gentle, quiet pony from the show 'My Little Pony' who moves softly and loves animals.
