Morphology

hoody = hood (transparent) = hood + y

The garment sense is a direct and productive formation from 'hood' + '-y' (a familiar noun-forming suffix), so learners who know 'hood' can infer the meaning.

Etymology

Hoody comes from hood (a cover for the head) plus the ending -y that makes it a thing; so a hoody is literally a garment 'with a hood', perfect for warmth and comfort.
