Morphology

cokey = coke (semi-transparent) = coke + y

The adjective is built transparently from 'coke' plus '-y', but the slang sense 'cocaine' may not be known to all learners.

Etymology

Cokey comes from coke ('cocaine') plus the ending -y, which makes a word mean 'like' or 'connected to'. So cokey describes someone who seems to be on cocaine or who acts as if they have taken it.
