Morphology

jammy = jam (transparent) = jam + y

Formed regularly from the noun 'jam' with the adjectival suffix '-y', meaning 'characterized by or containing jam'.

Etymology

Jammy comes from the simple word jam, which means 'a sweet spread made from fruit', plus the ending -y that makes adjectives. So jammy describes food that is full of or tasting of jam.
