Morphology

houndy = hound (transparent) = hound + y

Formed by the clear combination of 'hound' + '-y' to mean 'relating to hounds or hunting', a direct and regular adjective formation.

Etymology

Houndy comes from hound ('dog used for hunting') and the ending -y meaning 'related to' or 'full of'. So houndy describes things connected to hunting with hounds, such as clothes, places, or events that feel like a hunt.
