Formed by the productive adjectival suffix '-y' added to the slur 'fag', so a learner who knows the base would readily infer the adjectival meaning.

Etymology

Faggy as an insult comes from the harsh slur fag, which itself comes from faggot that once meant 'a bundle of sticks'. It is used to attack people because of their sexual orientation and is an offensive, hurtful word, so avoid using it.
