Morphology

clicky = click (semi-transparent) = click + y

The word is formed regularly from 'click' + '-y', but the online-attention sense is a figurative extension rather than a fully literal description.

Etymology

Clicky comes from the word click, the short sound or mouse action people use online, plus the ending -y which means 'full of' or 'having'. So a 'clicky' headline is made to make people 'click' and visit the page.
