Morphology

fluffy = fluff (transparent) = fluff + y

The adjective 'fluffy' is transparently derived from 'fluff' with the suffix '-y' indicating 'having the quality of'.

Etymology

Fluffy comes from the simple word fluff, which means 'soft, light bits' like loose fur or fabric, and the ending -y means 'full of'. So fluffy means 'full of' soft, light stuff, which is why we call towels, fur, or pancakes 'fluffy' when they feel soft and airy.
