Morphology

buffy = buff (opaque) = buff + y

Although formed from 'buff' + '-y', the sense 'soft, fluffy' does not follow the usual meaning of 'buff' (colour/leather) and is not predictable from the base.

Etymology

The word buffy can also mean soft and light. A helpful way to remember this is to think of the word fluffy. So buffy describes things that look 'soft' or 'fuzzy', like clouds or a puppy.
