Morphology

douchey = douche (transparent) = douche + y

The adjective is transparently formed by adding the adjectival suffix '-y' to the slang noun 'douche', meaning 'having qualities of a douche'.

Etymology

Douchey comes from the word douche, which originally meant 'shower' or 'to wash' but later became a rude word for an unpleasant person, and the ending -y means 'like'. So douchey means 'like someone who is rude, arrogant, or annoying'.
