Morphology

loggy = log (transparent) = log + y

Direct descriptive formation 'log' + '-y' meaning 'resembling or full of logs', which is straightforward for learners.

Etymology

Loggy comes from log ('a heavy piece of wood') plus the ending -y meaning 'full of' or 'like'. So a 'loggy' stream or shore is full of fallen trees or big pieces of wood, which is why it is hard to pass.
