Morphology

buzzy = buzz (transparent) = buzz + y

Clear adjectival formation from the verb 'buzz' meaning 'to produce a humming sound' plus -y to mean 'producing such a sound'.

Etymology

Buzzy comes from the simple word buzz, a word that copies the low humming of bees, and the ending -y which means 'full of' or 'having'. So something buzzy makes a low, constant hum, like a bee or an old refrigerator.
