Morphology

froggy = frog (transparent) = frog + y

Standard adjectival/diminutive formation from 'frog' to indicate resembling or characteristic of a frog.

Etymology

Froggy comes from frog + -y, where -y means 'like' or 'small', so it literally means 'like a frog'. That's why things that look a bit like a frog, such as slippers or faces, can be called 'froggy'.
