Morphology

faddy = fad (transparent) = fad + y

Clearly formed from the noun 'fad' plus the adjectival suffix '-y', giving 'characteristic of a fad'.

Etymology

The word faddy comes from the word fad, which means 'a fashion that lasts only a short time', plus the ending -y which means 'full of' or 'having'. So, something faddy is 'full of fads' and is fashionable only for a short time.
