Morphology

fitty = fit (transparent) = fit + y

Formed from 'fit' with the diminutive/adjectival suffix '-y' giving a sense of a small or minor 'fit', which learners can readily infer.

Etymology

Fitty comes from the word fit, which means a sudden angry outburst, with the small ending -y to make it less serious. So a fitty is a little 'fit' — a short, unimportant argument.
