Morphology

glowy = glow (transparent) = glow + y

Formed by adding the adjective-forming suffix '-y' to the noun 'glow', yielding 'having the quality of glowing', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Glowy comes from glow ('to shine') and the ending -y ('full of' or 'having'), like in snowy or cloudy. So glowy means 'having a soft, shining look', as when skin or lights seem to glow.
