Morphology

hazy = haze (transparent) = haze + y

Formed by the standard adjectival suffix '-y' meaning 'characterized by' the noun 'haze', so the meaning 'characterized by haze/unclear' is directly derived.

Etymology

Hazy comes from the word haze 'thin mist', plus the ending -y that means 'full of'. So something hazy is 'not clear', like a view covered by mist or a memory that feels clouded.
