Morphology

foggy = fog (transparent) = fog + y

Standard adjectival formation meaning 'full of or obscured by fog'.

Etymology

Foggy comes from fog ('a low, thick cloud') plus -y ('full of'), so it literally means 'full of fog'. That's why we call the weather 'foggy' when the air is thick and you can hardly see.
