Morphology

douchey = douche (semi-transparent) = douche + y

The adjective is formed regularly with -y, but the pejorative slang sense of 'douche' is conventional rather than fully predictable from the more literal base meaning.

Etymology

Douchey comes from the word douche, which first meant 'shower' and later became a rude word for a bad person, and the ending -y can turn it into a noun meaning 'someone like that'. So a douchey is 'an unpleasant, arrogant, or obnoxious person'.
