Morphology

goopy = goop (transparent) = goop + y

The adjective 'goopy' is transparently derived from the noun 'goop' with the addition of the suffix '-y', indicating a characteristic of being like 'goop'.

Etymology

Goopy comes from the simple word goop, which is like goo and means 'thick' and 'sticky'. The ending -y turns it into an adjective meaning 'full of' or 'like', so goopy describes something wet and hard to handle because it sticks.
