Morphology

blousy = blouse (transparent) = blouse + y

Formed by the productive suffix '-y' from 'blouse' meaning 'having the loose, full qualities of a blouse', directly describing clothing fit.

Etymology

Blousy comes from the word blouse, a loose shirt once worn by workers, so blousy often means 'like a blouse' — loose, full, or a little untidy in shape, especially for clothes.
