Morphology

baddie = bad (semi-transparent) = bad + ie

Morphologically clear (bad + -ie), but the sense depends on informal/slang use of 'bad' meaning attractive/confident, which is not predictable from the core adjective for many learners.

Etymology

Baddie in modern slang also comes from bad + -ie, but here bad is used to mean 'cool' or 'very attractive'. A helpful way to remember it is to think of a baddie as someone stylish, confident, and powerful.
