Morphology

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

The noun is a zero-derived substantivization of the adjective 'cokey', whose meaning is itself built from 'coke' plus '-y'.

Etymology

Cokey comes from coke ('cocaine') plus the ending -y that can make a word mean a 'person', similar to junkie. So a cokey is a person who uses or is addicted to cocaine.
