Morphology

brothy = broth (transparent) = broth + y

Standard adjectival formation from the noun 'broth' with '-y', meaning 'having the quality of broth', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Brothy comes from broth, which means 'a thin soup', plus the ending -y, which means 'full of' or 'having'. So brothy describes something that tastes or feels like broth—light, thin, and soup-like.
