Surface Forms

froggie singular
froggies plural

Morphology

froggie = frog (transparent) = frog + ie

Formed by adding the affectionate/diminutive suffix '-ie' to 'frog', yielding a pet-name sense which is predictable from the components.

Etymology

Froggie comes from frog plus the friendly ending -ie, the same soft ending you hear in nicknames like doggie. A helpful way to remember it is that the -ie makes the word sound cute, which is why people use it as an affectionate or playful nickname.
