Morphology

eggy = egg (transparent) = egg + y

The adjective is a direct adjectival derivation meaning 'egg-shaped' or having egg-like appearance; the formation is regular and transparent.

Etymology

Eggy comes from egg + -y, with -y meaning 'like' or 'having the shape of', as in leafy meaning 'full of leaves', so eggy describes objects that are smooth, rounded, or 'egg-shaped'.
