Morphology

blondie = blond (semi-transparent) = blond + ie

It is a diminutive formed from 'blond' plus '-ie', but the noun refers specifically to a blond-haired person rather than hair color alone.

Etymology

Blondie comes from the French word blond meaning 'fair' or 'light' plus the friendly ending -ie. So blondie is a casual, affectionate name for someone with light yellow hair.
