Morphology

curvy = curve (transparent) = curve + y

The word 'curvy' is transparently derived from 'curve' with the suffix '-y' indicating the quality of having curves.

Etymology

Curvy comes from the word curve ('a line that bends') plus the small part -y meaning 'full of'. So to be curvy is to have soft, rounded shapes, which is why we use it for an attractive woman's rounded figure.
