Morphology

barfy = barf (transparent) = barf + y

Formed by adding the adjectival suffix '-y' to the slang verb 'barf', producing an adjective meaning 'covered in or smelling of vomit', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Barfy comes from the slang barf meaning 'to vomit' plus the ending -y meaning 'full of' or 'having', so it describes something 'covered with vomit' or 'having a vomit smell'.
