Morphology

faggy = fag (transparent) = fag + y

Derived by adding the adjectival suffix '-y' to the British slang noun 'fag' (cigarette), producing 'smelling of or full of cigarette smoke'.

Etymology

Faggy meaning 'smelling of cigarettes' comes from British slang fag for 'cigarette'. So, a faggy room is one that is full of cigarette smoke.
