Morphology

druggy = drug (semi-transparent) = drug + y

The suffix '-y' suggests a quality or state, but the specific meaning related to drug effects is more specialized.

Etymology

Druggy comes from drug, a word that long ago meant 'medicine', plus the ending -y, which means 'full of' or 'like'. So druggy describes the feeling of being affected by medicine or drugs — drowsy, slow, or stupefied.
