Morphology

foxy = fox (semi-transparent) = fox + y

The adjective is formed from 'fox' + '-y', but the meaning 'sexually attractive' is a cultural metaphor that is not directly predictable from the animal meaning for all learners.

Etymology

Foxy also comes from the animal fox, which was seen as attractive and a little dangerous, so a helpful way to remember it is that foxy can mean 'sexually attractive' or 'seductive'.
