Morphology

almondy = almond (transparent) = almond + y

Derived by productive suffixation to mean 'having the shape of an almond'; the relation is directly inferable though 'almond-shaped' is more common.

Etymology

Almondy comes from almond and the ending -y, which means 'having' or 'like', so it describes a shape that is oval and pointed 'like' an almond, the same idea as 'almond-shaped'.
