Morphology

cracky = crack (semi-transparent) = crack + y

Built from the slang/adjectival sense 'crack' meaning 'excellent'; the derivation is direct but relies on a dialectal slang sense not known to all learners.

Etymology

A helpful way to remember the other sense of cracky is to think of crack meaning 'fun' or lively talk, like the Irish word craic, so cracky can mean 'very good' or 'excellent' in casual speech.
