footy singular

Morphology

footy = foot (semi-transparent) = foot + y

The word is formed from 'foot' + the familiar suffix '-y', but the specific meaning 'one-piece baby garment with feet' is a conventionalized clothing term not fully predictable from the components.

Etymology

Footy for baby clothes comes from the word foot plus the ending -y, which makes a word sound small or friendly; a helpful way to remember it is that a baby footy is a little one-piece that also covers the 'feet'.
