Morphology

creamy = cream (transparent) = cream + y

The adjective 'creamy' is transparently derived from 'cream' with the suffix '-y', indicating a texture or quality similar to cream.

Etymology

Creamy comes from the word cream (the thick, rich part of milk) combined with -y, meaning 'like' or 'full of'. So creamy for texture means smooth, thick and rich, just like dairy cream.
