Morphology

foresty = forest (semi-transparent) = forest + y

Formally built from 'forest' + '-y', but this sense refers to a professional/scientific domain (similar to 'forestry') which is more specialized than simply 'wooded'.

Etymology

The word foresty is also like forestry, the work and science of forests, and like forester, a person who cares for trees. That's why foresty can mean 'relating to forests or their management'.
