Morphology

dutchy = Dutch (semi-transparent) = Dutch + y

The form can be analyzed as 'Dutch' plus -y, but the resulting noun meaning is specialized and only loosely related to the usual meaning of the base.

Etymology

The cooking word dutchy comes from Dutch oven, a heavy pot with a tight lid used for slow cooking, so dutchy is a short name for that kind of pot.
