Morphology

burny = burn (transparent) = burn + y

Standard adjective formation from 'burn' with '-y' meaning 'having or causing the quality of burning', so the sense is directly predictable from the base.

Etymology

Burny comes from the simple verb burn ('to feel hot or be on fire') plus the ending -y ('full of' or 'having'). Think of a strong mouthwash or spicy food that 'feels like a burn' — so burny means it gives a burning or stinging sensation.
