Morphology

fatty = fat (transparent) = fat + y

Formed by the clear addition of the adjectival suffix '-y' to 'fat', so the meaning 'containing fat' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Fatty comes from the simple word fat plus the ending -y, which means 'full of', so fatty describes something 'containing a lot of fat', like a piece of meat or fish.
