Morphology

burny = burn (transparent) = burn + y

Derived by adding '-y' to 'burn' to indicate something that causes a burning effect or sensation; the relation is direct and literal.

Etymology

Burny is made from burn ('to damage with heat or chemicals') plus -y ('having the quality of'), so picture a liquid that would hurt your skin like a burn. So burny can describe something hot or chemically strong enough to cause burning or injury.
