Morphology

farmy = farm (transparent) = farm + y

A regular adjective formed by adding '-y' to 'farm' meaning 'having qualities of a farm', which is directly predictable.

Etymology

Farmy comes from farm plus the ending -y, which makes a word mean 'full of' or 'having' something, just like in smelly or rainy. So, farmy describes things that have the look or smell of a farm, like mud, animals, or fresh hay.
